The Amazing Spider-Man – The Amazing Spider-Man #39 by John Romita
I won’t lie, this cover means a lot to me simply because it was the issue I chose (after a lot of looking on eBay) to have signed by Stan “The Man” Lee when he visited the UK for presumably the last time in 2012. Regardless, should the Green Goblin – who was played by Willem Dafoe in 2002’s Spider-Man and will be portrayed by Chris Cooper in next year’s sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man – be featured in the third instalment of the new franchise (and that does seem to be the case), then this cover is PERFECT.
Are there really any higher stakes than an exposed and chained up Peter Parker being flown across the New York skyline by one of his greatest enemies? While turning this into a live-action poster would certainly prove to be a challenge for Sony, it’s an image that comic book fans deserve to see!
