Looking back, I doubt the Goblin's identity would have been revealed in Amazing #39 if Ditko had stayed on. I had been following the last couple of issues and didn't think there was really much mystery about it. I just accepted the fact that it was going to be Norman Osborn when we plotted it. I didn't know that Ditko had just been setting Osborn up as a straw dog. I didn't know there was any doubt about Osborn being the Goblin. Stan wouldn't have been able to stand it if Ditko did the story and didn't reveal that the Green Goblin was Norman Osborn. John Romita, Sr., who replaced Ditko as the title's artist, recalled: The first issue without Ditko saw the Green Goblin unmasked.

ĭitko left the series with issue #38, just one issue after Norman Osborn was introduced as the father of Harry Osborn. Ditko has maintained that it was his idea, even claiming that he had decided on it before the first Green Goblin story was finished, and that a character he drew in the background of a single panel of Amazing Spider-Man #23 was meant to be Norman Osborn (who is not introduced until issue #37). Moreover, in an earlier essay he had said that he could not remember whether Norman Osborn being the Green Goblin was his idea or Ditko's. However, Lee prefaced this statement by admitting that, due to his self-professed poor memory, he may have been confusing the Green Goblin with a different character. if it's somebody you didn't know and had never seen, then what was the point of following all the clues? I think that frustrates the reader. I felt, in a sense, it would be like cheating the reader. Because, he said, in real life, very often a villain turns out to be somebody that you never knew. Steve wanted him to turn out to be just some character that we had never seen before. According to both Stan Lee and John Romita, Sr., who replaced Ditko as the title's artist, Lee always wanted the Green Goblin to be someone Peter Parker knew, while Ditko wanted his civilian identity to be someone who hadn't yet been introduced. At this time his identity was unknown, but he proved popular and reappeared in later issues, which made a point of his secret identity. The Green Goblin debuted in The Amazing Spider-Man #14.
On my own, I changed Stan's mythological demon into a human villain. Inside was an ancient, mythological demon, the Green Goblin.

Stan's synopsis for the Green Goblin had a movie crew, on location, finding an Egyptian–like sarcophagus.

The Green Goblin has appeared in numerous media adaptations of Spider-Man over the years, including films, animated television series, and video games. Originally a manifestation of chemically induced insanity, others such as Norman's son Harry Osborn would take on the persona.
