1st Jack O'Lantern! So happy to have this one, and a NS copy to boot. Besides Norman, Jason Phillip Macendale started off the next wave of pumpkin throwing baddies to take on the wall crawler. Kingsley was not far behind, and eventually they would be tied under the orange hood.

1st HOBGOBLIN! My favorite villain! :D I didn't get this copy off the stands, but it happens to be a NS copy. I did get it in the mid-90's and had it graded myself. This copy will have to do instead of my 9.8 / WP criteria, but if it's the only copy I ever have that's just fine as it's been mine for decades.

Spider-Man and Hobgoblin meet! JR JR & Milgrom totally rock this cover! With the face in the background and the battle going on it's the template for the best Hobgoblin covers that would follow.
This is a really sweet copy too, with the black bar on the spine showing, the CCA label not cut off, and the top showing it's centered. I'm super excited about this book!

One of my fav Hobby covers ever, with the Black Cat in tow! This one is important, as it's the issue where Hobby uses a version of the goblin formula to up his power levels. It's right in the middle of my favorite era of reading when I was young, so to have a 9.8 of this one is something special.

"It's GREAT - Steal it!"
Isn't the Hogoblin a great role model?
Seriously, what a great cover! Jr Jr and Janson capture the best of this "normal sized" anniversary issue in epic fashion! This pose has even been swiped a few times, most notably on ASM #375 with Venom.
With both characters in full-figure and neither obstructed, this may be the best cover with them both. CLASSIC!!!
Note: Hobgoblin's appearances in Sensational She-Hulk #29 & #30 take place between pages 19 and 20 of this issue.

This is one of a set of covers to this series by long-time Web Of artist Alex Saviuk! It seems he hasn't lost his touch as Hobgoblin looks great! Cool ASM 121 throwback too!
Note: This is a modern mini-series but the story takes place before ASM #257, so I'm placing this earlier on in my listing.

One of the coolest Hobgoblin covers by non other than Charles Vess! Spidey and Hobgoblin are fighting in a warehouse that's caught on fire and it's collapsing around them!
Hobby has never looked so cool, with Spider-Man at his feet and his victorious hand outstretching over the logo. A stellar copy of one of the most classic ASM bronze age covers!

Finally! One of the coolest and HTF in high grade Hobgoblin covers from the 80's! I'm not too familiar with Jim Fern, but both he and Bob Layton nailed the characters on this cover. Super excited to have this one as part of the collection!
I'm trying to put the Hobgoblin issues in chronological order in my custom set, but this one is tough. I've got it here as the narrative in this issue states that it occurs prior to Amazing Spider-Man #289. Specifically it takes place between Peter Parker The Spectacular Spider-Man #120 and #121. Therefore I put it before the ASM Gang War story leading into Ned's death.

One of the famous Marvel Gang Wars starts here underneath a tough black cover and this copy with white pages!

It finally happens here! After years, the Green Goblin finally battles the Hobgoblin! Sure, it's Harry and Jason and not Norman vs. Kingsley but who cares!
Of course I'd been wanting this one in 9.8 for a long time because of the awesome McFarlane cover. As great as he renders his pumpkin bombs I love that he didn't forget about the razor bats here! With the white and smoky background the villains colors really pop off the page. And as much as people want to chase newstand issues, I wanted this direct version with the extra Hobby pic in the UPC box!
Gotta love a cover where the title character takes not 2nd but 3rd stage because there's too much going on! ;)

Inferno reached the Daily Bugle! Spider-Man is doing his best, but that's not the real story of this book....
The biggest event happens at the end, when Jason Macendale makes his deal with the devil - literally! He's granted powers by the demon N'Astrah which transforms him into the demonic Hobgoblin and adds to the Spidey mythos! Of course the entities would eventually separate but Macendale was one messed up dude for a few years.
This is a key book in my Hobgoblin Saga run! :D
