A Death in the Family The grotesque embodiment of industrialist Norman Osborn's chemically engineered insanity, the Green Goblin has terrorized Spider-Man's friends and loved ones for years. Even his own son - Peter Parker's best friend, Harry - was poisoned by the Goblin legacy. Norman killed Gwen Stacy, the first great love of Peter's life. And then - years after Spider-Man watched him die, impaled on his own glider - Norman returned from the grave to haunt his hated foe. Now, Norman is through waiting for sinister, behind-the-scenes schemes to come to fruition. Spider-Man is his target, and he won't stop until he has the wall-crawler's heart on a platter. No games, no tricks - just a mad thirst for vengeance.
