Writer J.M. DeMatteis, one of the most influential creators in Spider-Man history, returns to spin a new web of lies, secrets, and revenge in SPIDER-MAN: SHADOW OF THE GREEN GOBLIN!
The mind behind groundbreaking Spidey tales like Kraven’s Last Hunt continues to add to his iconic legacy and the mythos of classic Spider-Man lore following retro stints like Ben Reilly: Spider-Man and Spider-Man: The Lost Hunt.
This time, set during the beginning of Peter Parker’s adventures as Spider-Man and still finding his footing as a superhero and dealing with grief over Uncle Ben’s death, Peter will find himself entangled in a dark drama involving his best friend’s family—the Osborns.
The saga will revisit the now classic Spider-Man -1 and tie up a plot thread that’s been dangling since 1997 involving the tragic truth behind Norman Osborn’s research assistant Nels van Adder, the first test subject for the “Goblin formula” which transformed him into PROTO-GOBLIN!
Spider-Man: Shadow of the Green Goblin #4
PETER PARKER must stop PROTO-GOBLIN — but is he strong enough?
Witness the birth of the GREEN GOBLIN as there is no coming back from the choice NORMAN OSBORN makes in this issue.
