[Somehow I’ve never heard of this](https://www.newsweek.com/spider-man-comic-marvel-green-goblin-angry-girlfriend-1451590?amp=1), but it is rather amusing. It raises questions, like what the hell did that guy do to piss off his GF that bad? Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, indeed.

Any other interesting “variants” out there?

Why is the blame on the dude? It could be that she’s an abusive woman.

Too bad I didn’t come up with “The unexplained phenomenon variant” blurb when I sold my copies of X-Men 94 and Giant Sized X-Men 1. The covers looked like somebody had taken something hard and scratched them as hard as they could. The weird part is I was the only one who ever even looked at them!

Oh, absolutely! I didn’t mean to imply otherwise but looking back I can see why my post could be interpreted that way. I’m assuming he did _something_ but it could’ve been something innocuous like using the last of the hazelnut coffee creamer or chewing too loudly. Or it could’ve been an imagined slight I suppose. Still, when I look at that comic there’s clearly a story around the defacement and I’m curious what it is.
