1st app Green Goblin (Norman Osborn); 1st meeting Hulk and Spider-Man; Steve Ditko cover & art; Comic Book Impact rating of 9 (CBI)


After an already-impressive series of supervillains, Amazing Spider-Man #14 gave our hero his Joker, his Luthor, his Red Skull, his true nemesis and arch-villain. Every hero needs one—and boy, is the Green Goblin one of the all-time greats. The identity and backstory of this compelling nemesis ties neatly into the Spider-Man title's recurring themes of loss, tragedy, and the simple day-to-day difficulties of life. This enduring classic issue (which also features Spidey's first encounter with the Hulk) remains one of the most important and beloved of all Marvel keys.


This impressive 8.0 book offers all the glorious green that made the Goblin hop off the newsstands of 1964, with vivid yellows adding to all the initial impact of this wild battle cover. There's also an impressive lack of chipping along the right-hand cover for a particularly impressive investment.
