#157: Amazing Spider-Man #96-98 (w/Denis Kitchen) - "In the Grip of the Goblin!"

As the founder of Kitchen Sink Press, Denis
Kitchen published some of the most important independent
and underground comics of the last 50 years, including Bizarre
Sex, Gay Comix, Omaha the Cat Dancer, Will Eisner’s Quarterly,
The Crow, and From Hell. He has also been a lifelong
defender of the First Amendment rights of comics retailers,
creators, and readers, and is the founder of the Comic
Book Legal Defense Fund, of which Marvel by the
Month is a member. We hope you'll consider becoming one as
well at cbldf.org.
