Lot of 3 Amazing Spider-Man Comics: #96-98. Green Goblin arc unapproved by CCA. Avg Grade: 4.5. Est. Value: $100.00.This lot begins with three classic issues released without the approval of the Comics Code Authority because of the (anti-) drug themed story. (Not that the Comics Code was pro-drug, of course. It's just that back then, comics couldn't mention drugs at all, even negatively.) Stan Lee published the stories anyway, which eventually led to a major revision in the code, allowing for anti-drug stories, plus other various things such as horror comics and vampires. That's why there were suddenly tons of horror and mystery comics in the early seventies, shortly after the revision went into effect.Lot of 3 Amazing Spider-Man Comic Books: #96-98. Anti-drug Green Goblin story arc; unapproved by Comics Code Authority.
This three-issue arc has Spidey taking on the Green Goblin while Harry Osborn collapses from a bad drug trip -- in a special anti-drug story arc released without the seal of the Comics Code Authority.
