Barton Hamilton

Barton Hamilton is a psychiatrist in Spider-Man's world who became entangled with the Green Goblin legacy, taking on a dangerous patient whose fractured psyche concealed one of Peter Parker's most notorious enemies.

Barton Hamilton made his entrance in the Bronze Age pages of The Amazing Spider-Man #167 in 1977, courtesy of the legendary creative team of Len Wein and Ross Andru. Though his catalog footprint is modest, this Marvel character has proven quietly enduring, with appearances stretching across nearly five decades into 2023 — a testament to his persistent place in Spider-Man's world. He keeps genuinely eclectic company, sharing pages with figures as iconic as Captain America and Gwen Stacy, as well as more offbeat corners of the Marvel universe in titles like Spider-Gwen: Gwenverse and Miles Morales: Spider-Man. For collectors who love digging into the deeper cuts of Spidey's Bronze Age roots, Barton Hamilton is exactly the kind of character who rewards the search.
