Plot Outline
In previous issues, Stan Lee had established that Spider-Man's / Peter Parker's arch enemy Norman Osborn (Green Goblin) had amnesia, and thus forgotten his double identity. After changing into Spider-Man, he saves a man dancing on a rooftop, realizes he is high on drugs, and finally says "I would rather face a hundred super-villains than throw my life away on hard drugs, because it is a battle you cannot win!" In issue 97, Osborn Sr. regains his memory, turns into the Green Goblin and attacks Spider-Man, then disappears mysteriously. At home Peter is shocked to find Harry popping pills, partly because his love interest Mary Jane Watson turned him down. In issue 98, Lee concluded the saga by having the Green Goblin locate and fight Spider-Man, and Peter vanquishes his arch enemy by showing him his sick son. Osborn Sr. faints, and in the end Peter and his estranged girlfriend, Gwen Stacy, rekindle their relationship.

Famous quotes related to plot outline:
“After I discovered the real life of mothers bore little resemblance to the plot outlined in most of the books and articles I’d read, I started relying on the expert advice of other mothers—especially those with sons a few years older than mine. This great body of knowledge is essentially an oral history, because anyone engaged in motherhood on a daily basis has no time to write an advice book about it.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
