AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #238 (Marvel, 1983) 1st Hobgoblin
 
This key issue of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN features the first appearance of the Hobgoblin.  It’s also noteworthy for still having the Lakeside Skin Tattooz premium still attached to the book – lots of them didn’t actually remain.
 
This book is in at least 8.5 condition.   The appearance is bright and clean, and no major defects were spotted.   The interior pages are clean and bright, with an off-white coloring.   The back cover appears to show some scuffing, but that may just be actually part of the artwork.  The Lakeside Skin Tattooz premium is still attached.
 
 
NOTE: We are professional comic book retailers, but we are not professional comic book graders like our friends from CGC. Out estimation of this book’s condition is just that – it’s an estimate. But it’s an estimate made by comic book retailers with a great eye for detail and a superb sellers record, so we have done our best to give you our best appraisal. Please feel free to ask any questions if you feel we’re off by at least a point in our grading.
