Marvel Comics · The Amazing Spider-Man #39 · August 1966 · Silver Age · 12 cents · 20 pages
Grade: VG 4.0
Stan Lee and Steve Ditko continue the mythology. This issue delivers the unmasking: the Green Goblin stands revealed as Norman Osborn, shattering the mystery that's animated the character since his debut. The revelation recontextualizes everything — the obsession with Spider-Man, the criminal enterprise, the leverage over Peter Parker — and locks Osborn into the Spider-Man rogues' gallery with permanent psychological weight. Ditko's angular, claustrophobic panels and Lee's pacing make the reveal land hard.
This is the issue that anchors Norman Osborn as one of Spider-Man's defining nemeses. The identity reveal becomes the foundation for decades of storytelling — from his apparent death to his resurrection and resurrection again. Collectors target #39 specifically for this moment.
Condition VG 4.0 — Professional grade for the savvy collector. Shows honest wear, but no major distractions. A great shelf copy.. Noting: First appearance of the Green Goblin's true identity as Norman Osborn revealed. Classic Silver Age cover featuring Spider-Man vs Green Goblin..
We use what the scientists are calling artificial intelligence to research and write our descriptions — it gives us more time to add books to our website and provide you with a wider array of inventory.
