“Green Grows The Goblin!”

In "Green Grows The Goblin!", Peter Parker faces a life-or-death dilemma: Aunt May lies near death in the hospital, and her only chance at survival hinges on Peter’s signature to authorize the operation—yet the Green Goblin has him cornered in a brutal showdown. With the fate of his beloved aunt hanging in the balance and the Goblin’s twisted schemes escalating, Peter must fight through pain and pressure to protect the people he loves. Written by Len Wein and brought to life by Ross Andru’s dynamic art and Jim Mooney’s sharp inks, this gripping issue blends personal stakes with high-octane action, all under Joe Sinnott’s iconic cover inks.
