Description
Steve Ditko Amazing Spider-Man #37 Splash Page 1 Norman Osborn and Gwen Stacy Original Art (Marvel, 1966). To quote the page... "We hate to brag, but... ...this one's a DOOZY!"This issue has the first named appearance of Norman Osborn. The Green Goblin, arguably Spider-Man's greatest enemy, had appeared a few times already, but at this point no one knew he was secretly Norman Osborn! Norman appeared in one panel with J. Jonah Jameson at their club in issue #27, but he went unnamed at the time. But on Page 10 of this issue, we finally get a name for that unmistakable haircut! And there he is on this splash page, right behind J. Jonah Jameson!
This also has the distinction of being the only Ditko splash page that Gwen Stacy appeared on, and one of only about 20 total pages she was on during his tenure on the book. The page features a maskless Spider-Man, and J. Jonah Jameson as well.
The twice-up scale beauty was created in ink over graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 12.5" x 18.5". The header banner is a stat paste-up. There is some minor wear and staining. In Excellent condition.
