The Amazing Spider-Man Annual #1991

In "The Day The War Began!", Peter Parker grapples with the weight of his secret as Mary Jane Watson opens up about her family’s painful past, revealing layers of loss and resilience. With the Hobgoblin resurfacing and demanding control over New York’s underworld, Peter must confront his old enemy while facing new threats—both personal and criminal—on the streets he once protected.

In "The Challenge of Hobgoblin!", Spider-Man races through New York’s underworld to stop Roderick Kingsley, who’s hunting for his father’s Goblin journals. With the help of Harry Osborn and the uneasy presence of the black alien costume’s lingering influence on Franklin Richards, Spidey faces off against Hobgoblin in a brutal clash that takes them from the streets to a women’s bathroom—where a pumpkin bomb in a toilet adds a sticky twist. As Liz Osborn and Mary Jane Watson are taken by Rose’s men and Harry watches helplessly, the web-slinger must push past the edge to keep the city safe.

In "The Sins of My Father!", Peter Parker must confront the legacy of his mentor’s past when Harry Osborn is forced to trade his father’s secret Goblin journals to the Hobgoblin and the Rose—only to find himself trapped in a deadly game. With Mary Jane and Liz Osborn in peril and a fire raging in the warehouse, Spider-Man steps in to save them, while a mysterious black alien costume escapes from the Baxter Building, hinting at a darker threat on the horizon.
