The importance of Amazing Spider-Man #14 cannot be overstated. The Green Goblin is Spider-Man's version of the Joker, an arch nemesis that is as insane as he is deadly. Starting with this 1st appearance, the Green Goblin would be the antagonist in many great Spider-Man tales. It was the Green Goblin that was chosen as the villain when John Romita took over artistic duties for Steve Ditko starting in issue #39, it was the Green Goblin that killed Spidey's girlfriend Gwen Stacy in issue #121, and it was the Green Goblin that was the focal point of the 1st Spider-Man movie. Without great villains to bring out their character, there would be no great comic book heroes. The Spider-Man title, and interest in it, could have turned out very differently if not for the appearance of the Green Goblin. The offered example is certified at the CGC 9.0 tier. Adding to its desirability, it has retained newsstand-fresh White Pages.
