“The Challenge of Hobgoblin!”

In The Amazing Spider-Man #260, Spider-Man races through New York’s underworld to stop the Hobgoblin, whose latest attack targets Harry Osborn in a deadly hunt for his father’s secret journals. With the black alien symbiote still struggling to break free and a tense showdown unfolding in a women’s bathroom—where a pumpkin bomb threatens to detonate on Hobgoblin’s hand—Spidey must dodge a glider strike and a brutal train-side ambush. As Liz and Mary Jane are taken by the Rose’s men, Harry watches helplessly, caught in a web of danger he can’t escape. Written by Tom DeFalco and illustrated by Ron Frenz, with inks by Joe Rubinstein and Brett Breeding, and a cover by Ron Frenz and Joe Rubinstein, this 1985 issue delivers a pulse-pounding clash of wits and webs.
