| has gloss | eng: The Crime Master is a Marvel Comics supervillain and an enemy of Spider-Man. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko, he first appears in Amazing Spider-Man #26 (July 1965). The character was most notable for being the partner of the Green Goblin. Both villains aspired to take over the criminal mobs of New York and formed an uneasy partnership. They were both aware of the other's secret identity which kept them from outwardly betraying the other. The Crime Master only lasted one issue and was killed in Amazing Spider-Man #27; however, there was a second Crime Master in the 1970s and new stories were written in the pages of Untold Tales of Spider-Man that featured the original character before his death. |
