Description

Check out this INCREDIBLY HISTORIC 1971 Amazing Spider-Man cover, which was penciled by the great Gil Kane, and inked by the great Frank Giacoia, from the ever classic story titled: "In the Grip of the Goblin!" This "AMAZING" cover features a Pill-popping Harry Osborn sharing the stage with a Spider-Man and The Green Goblin! This infamous three-part Drug Abuse story that the Comics Code Authority refused to approve became arguably the most talked about comic book story of the entire 1970's! The only story that can even compare to this DRUG STORY would be 2 years later when the same Gil Kane drew the ever classic ASM 121-122 storyline where this same Green Goblin kills the ever loved Gwen Stacy, and dies himself in the very next issue!) Our hero isn't faring so well, as the Green Goblin uses Spidey's own web to capture him. Marvel really went out on a limb to provide this anti-drug message story, but for whatever reason, they wound up rejecting this version of the cover, even after art

About RomitaMan Original Art / Established: 1990

It fascinates me how from growing up in the 1970s as a kid with little money, I had to work on my paper route to have funds to buy all of the comics I loved as a kid. And growing older I was able to buy more expensive comics as I saved my money while in the U.S. Army at West Point from 1985-1989 and I was able to finally buy my very first pages of comic art in 1989 and it has been an unbelievable roller coaster ride ever since that point trying to find the Amazing Spiderman #1-297 pages and Spiderman strip art from 1-3-1977 to 11-9-1980 I love so dearly and covet!!
