Spidey vs. The Green Goblin!
DESCRIPTION
John Romita pencils/Mike Esposito inks; page 19; 1966; image size 12.5" x 18.5"
Spidey vs. The Green Goblin!From 'Jazzy' John Romita's first issue of Spider-Man! Extraordinary twice-up action page as Peter confronts The Green Goblin only to be bested by his asphyxiation grenade. Panel five was the inspiration for the issue's cover. Romita was given the near impossible task of following Steve Ditko, Spider-Man's creator, and he came through in spades, expanding Peter Parker's world and humanizing the characters in a way that couldn't be anticipated. Featuring inks by Mike Esposito, as Mickey Demeo. Pen and ink. Art is in excellent condition.

Artist Information
John Romita was one of the driving forces behind Marvel's Silver Age, first taking up the reins on Amazing Spider-Man following the departure of Steve Ditko with issue #38. Romita's long run on Spider-Man would include the introduction of classic characters such as Mary Jane Watson, the Kingpin and many others. He would be a major contributor to the entire Marvel line throughout the 1970s — including designing the look of The Punisher. Romita's influence has since been felt for decades, including the emergence of John Romita, Jr. as one of the industry's top illustrators.
