Hi. Quick clarification: In THE RUNAWAYS Vol. 2, the heroic Green Goblin became a member of a group called THE LONERS. THE LONERS got their own mini-series. During that mini-series Phil/The Green Goblin went down a path where he going on the crazy/villainous side. That's his previous appearance from where I picked him up over in the pages of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: BIG TIME.

Thanks, Dan! I had no idea about that bit of backstory.

Another quick correction here: Tom DeFalco and Scott McDaniel created the Phil Zurich incarnation of the Green Goblin. The character was just debuted in a Web of Spider-Man issue written by Terry Kavanaugh to help launch the series.

Thanks, Tom! That’s what I get for trusting Wikipedia.

Great article, as always! Just one minor — super minor, minimal even — thing I almost didn’t want to mention: Phil is Ben’s nephew, not his son. Anyway, that doesn’t disqualify the great work you always do with your articles. Keep it awesome!

Oh you are totally right. I was even chuckling about him having an Uncle Ben while writing this.

That Green Goblin run was really awesome. Specially because it had a proper ending. Sadly Scott McDaniel only drew 10 out of the 12 issue run, but still, the last episode is really funny and sad at the same time.
