This is an ancient thread. I saw it as I saw names of guests, and clicked on the link.
I'm one of those very classic loving cases, and think ASM 39-40 is almost untopped, even with the likes of the Drug issues, Spectacular stuff, the Night Gwen Stacy Died, and more.

One of my favorites is Amazing Spider-Man 23, and it's missing from this poll.
 
I would have voted for Spectacular Spider-Man Magazine #2, which came out in 1968.

(AND IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE POLL... :cmad: :cmad: :cmad: )

Arguably one of THE best Spidey/Green Goblin stories ever told. :word: :up: :word:

:yay:

I still stand by this comment. :yay:
 
I've always had a fondness for ASM #26-27, despite the few other issues that also deserve high marks... these issues are what Spidey used to be all about... no overly super-powered villains, just the criminal underworld and two villains, the Goblin and the Crime-Master, competing and double-crossing one another for control of the city's mobs in a seedy waterfront setting and nothing but action, action, action... and in the background, a mystery as to who the Crime-Master really is... THIS was the TRUE essence of a Spidey story arc by Steve Ditko...
