“Return of the Green Goblin”

In "Return of the Green Goblin," Flash Thompson rallies the city to stand by Spider-Man—only for the Green Goblin to crash the event with a sudden, brutal attack. With Aunt May suddenly hospitalized, Spider-Man must abandon the fight to rush to her side, leaving the Human Torch to face the Goblin alone. Written by Stan Lee, Steve Ditko, and Mike Raicht, with art by Gus Vazquez and cover by Roger Cruz, this 2005 issue blends emotional stakes with high-octane action.
