Vol 1: October 1995 – October 1996
Philip Urich is working as an intern at the Daily Bugle. His uncle, Ben Urich, is an investigative reporter there. Uncle Ben is working on a new book – “Dynasty of Evil”, the story of the Osborn Family and the Green Goblin. While investigating an old Osborn warehouse, Philip stumbles onto a Green Goblin lair, falls into some green goop, and then has to don the costume to rescue his uncle.

Seems the combination of the green goop and the electric circuitry in the Goblin’s mask turns the dead-end Generation X-er into the manaical butt-kicking super-powered Green dude on the Bat Glider. Philip is a nice enough guy who got stuck in his older brother’s shadow, fell in with some bad friends, and is misunderstood by his parents. Single and shy by day but a hero-by-night. He comes across as a cross between a young Peter Parker, and Jim Carrey in “The Mask”.
