Amazing Spider-Man (1963 1st Series) UK Price Variant 39UK

Stan Lee writes the script, and John Romita Sr. begins as regular penciller. Mike Esposito inks (as "Mickey Demeo"). Romita cover. Reprinted in Marvel Tales # 178. According to Les Daniels in "Marvel: Five Fabulous Decades of the World's Greatest Comics" (Abrams, 1991), artist Steve Ditko resigned because of a disagreement over the Goblin's identity. Ditko wanted it to be someone anonymous--a new, unknown guy; Lee wanted it to be a familiar character that would startle readers.
