    "Unmasked at Last!" Script by Stan Lee. Art by John Romita (layouts) and Jim Mooney (finishes). Cover by John Romita. Peter Parker has been feeling very sick in recent days...and he thinks he's losing his spider-powers. So Aunt May's nephew makes a very rash decision -- to reveal his secret identity at Gwen's birthday party! Captain Stacy, Mary Jane, Harry Osborn, and Gwen are stunned by Peter's confession! But Harry recalls that his best friend did something like this once before (way back in Amazing Spider-Man #12). The following day Peter realizes that he's committed a huge blunder. And he enlists the aid of Hobie Brown (aka the Prowler) to convince his friends -- that he's not really Spider-Man. Will Peter's risky gamble pay off? (Notes: The letters page includes letters from comics writer Doug Moench and comics artist Alan Kupperberg, respectively. This issue was reprinted in Marvel Tales #68.) 32 pages. Cover price $0.15.

Eventually, the arms make it all the way to the Midwest...and free their master! Dr. Octopus is back in business! The six-armed super-villain swiftly resumes his criminal ways by hijacking an airplane and holding it for ransom! And thus setting up a battle on the tarmac vs. your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man!

    Amazing Spider-Man (1963 1st Series) 96 FN 6.0

    Starts Apr 22

    This classic issue is the first of three that were not approved by the Comics Code Authority because of the (anti-)drug themed story. (Not that the Comics Code was pro-drug, of course. It's just that back then, comics couldn't mention drugs at all, even negatively.) Stan Lee published the stories anyway, which eventually led to a major revision in the code, allowing for anti-drug stories, plus other various things such as horror comics and vampires. (That's why there were suddenly tons of horror and mystery comics in the early seventies, shortly after the revision went into effect.) Anyway, back to the Spider-Man story at hand: the Green Goblin returns to annoy Spider-Man in "And Now, the Goblin." Script by Stan Lee, pencils by Gil Kane, and inks by Frank Giacoia. Kane cover. Reprinted in Marvel Tales # 77 and 191. Cover price $0.15.
