Amazing Spider-Man #23 "THE GOBLIN AND HIS GANGSTERS" (April, 1965)


Synopsis

Things sure are jumping in Peter's life. Fred Foswell has been re-hired? Ned Leeds is writing Betty? The Green Goblin tried to bust up a local mob?! That last one doesn't make any sense! Nah, ol' Gobby just made it look that way, he's really trying to take over the rackets himself.

Spidey puts the kibosh on the Goblin, doesn't confront Betty, and ends up on top again. So why is Peter filled with a sense of foreboding dread?


Notes
  • the pumpkin bomb has become a signature weapon of the Green Goblin
  • Norman Osborn appears but neither speaks, nor is spoken to (see photo above, is that Captain George Stacy next to him?)
