A true Bronze-to-Modern crossover landmark. Amazing Spider-Man #238A marks the first appearance of the Hobgoblin, launching one of Marvel’s longest-running mystery arcs. Roger Stern and John Romita Jr./Sr. retool Green Goblin mythology into something darker and more procedural, with street-level crime colliding with legacy villainy. A defining Spider-Man issue of the early ’80s—and one of the era’s most collectible variants thanks to the original Lakeside Skin “Tattooz” insert.
