1st appearance Green Goblin (Norman Osborn); 1st Hulk meets Spider-Man; Steve Ditko cover & art; Comic Book Impact rating of 9 (CBI)
Amazing Spider-Man #14 made comics history with the first appearance of the Green Goblin, introducing Spider-Man to his Joker, his Lex Luthor, his Red Skull — that is, his true archvillain. Every hero needs one, and the Green Goblin would go on to become one of the all-time greats. The identity and backstory of this compelling nemesis would go on to decades of complementing Spider-Man's recurring themes of loss, tragedy, and the simple day-to-day difficulties of life.
The wild plot throws in a film production and the return of the Enforcers as the Goblin's henchmen, in addition to Spidey stumbling into his first encounter with the Incredible Hulk. Of course, this issue also means that we're seeing the first appearance of Norman Osborn underneath the scheming Green Goblin's mask. Osborn himself would span decades under his own name as one of Marvel's most hated villains. It's yet another reason that this classic issue remains one of the most important and beloved of all Marvel keys.

Early Spider-Man covers remain some of the most iconic images of the comic world. One can't help but feel the tug of nostalgia when gazing upon a Silver Age Steve Ditko Spidey cover, especially one in such incredible NM+ condition. The colors on this cover really pop, and the inclusion of the Hulk in the mix just serves to push the desirability of this classic off the charts. Spider-Man has proven to be a consistently popular superhero on par with Superman and Batman, and his cinematic franchise continues to drive the value of his keys into the stratosphere. We expect fevered bidding over ownership of this treasure in our Event Auction. An Amazing Spider-Man #14 9.6 sold for $48,000 in September 2021.
Overstreet Guide 2023 NM- (9.2) value = $16,000.
