After looking at hundreds of comic book covers, it becomes quickly apparent that not every cover is 100% original. Whether done intentionally or even underhandedly, there’s something about uncovering these “swipes” that adds a new element of fun to reading and collecting comics.<\/font><\/p>\n

These days it’s hard to think of Spider-Man villains without the Green Goblin coming to mind but, there was a time when the Goblin wasn’t very important to the Spidey mythos. The original Green Goblin (Norman Osborn) debuted in Amazing Spider-Man<\/em> #14 and was killed off in Amazing Spider-Man <\/em>#122. His son, Harry, adopted the Goblin mantle in Amazing Spider-Man <\/em>#136 and, in Amazing Spider-Man <\/em>#176 (cover date: 1978), Harry’s psychiatrist Barton Hamilton became the third Goblin. For the next five years, the Spider-Man books were Goblin-free! That is, until Amazing Spider-Man <\/em>#238 (cover date: 1983), when the Hobgoblin debuted. <\/p>\n

Initially, the identity of this Goblin was unknown and was an important running subplot of the series for the following five years. Finally, Hobgoblin’s identity was revealed in Amazing Spider-Man <\/em>#289 (cover date: 1987). The cover of Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season Eight <\/em>#33 pays homage to this milestone issue.<\/p>\n
