The Amazing Spider-Man #121 in context
Why collectors care
The death of Gwen Stacy, cover-dated June 1973 -- the story that many historians treat as the definitive end of the Silver Age innocence in superhero comics. The two-part arc runs through #122, in which the Green Goblin dies.
How to identify it
Amazing Spider-Man #121, June 1973, cover by John Romita. The story arc is "The Night Gwen Stacy Died," also known as "The Green Goblin's Last Stand," spanning #121 and #122.
Common mistakes
Assuming #121 and #122 are interchangeable. They are separate books with separate markets, and #121 (Gwen's death) generally leads. Facsimile editions of #121 exist and are frequently mistaken for originals.
Grade considerations
The yellow-and-red cover shows edge wear and spine color-break clearly. Because the book was heavily read and re-read, high-grade copies are considerably scarcer than the print run implies.
