"Best of Enemies!" Giant-Sized Anniversary Issue. Silver foil cover. Script by J.M. DeMatteis. Pencils and Inks by Sal Buscema. Cover by Sal Buscema. The Green Goblin is on the loose again! And the first thing he does is grab Mary Jane and take her to the top of the Brooklyn Bridge! Oh no! Is the tragic history from Amazing Spider-Man 121 going to repeat itself?! Thankfully not this time as Mary Jane talks sense into the goblin! But Harry's mental state continues to fluctuate between lucidity and lunacy. And his hatred for the web-slinger grows by the day! When will the goblin strike again? The untenable situation has Peter and Mary Jane living on the edge…waiting for the next attack! The fateful day of destiny finally arrives when Harry traps Spider-Man inside his townhouse wired with explosives! The goblin is poised to administer the coup de grâce when he suddenly realizes that little Normie and Mary Jane have just entered the building! And now the wall-crawler's long-time foe (and Peter Parker's long-time friend) faces a series of critical decisions! Save his son? Save Mary Jane? Save Spider-Man? What will the Green Goblin do with three lives on the line? Will years of friendship or years of frustration guide Harry's choices? A heartbreaking ending. Death of Harry Osborn. An unknown percentage of the print run was produced with the foil design misaligned. We do not differentiate between the two, but any slabbed copies listed here with misaligned foil noted on the label will have that notation in our listings as well. 48 pages. Cover price $2.95.
