I'd also add Bendis' The Pulse (which sent him to jail), and DeConnick's OSBORN series (which has him get out of jail albeit not the same one).
It's weird how Norman doesn't
feel overexposed even if he is the Spider-Man villain with the most appearances and third overall in Marvel:
Top 3 Spider-Man Villains
1. Green Goblin (597 Appearances)
2. Doctor Octopus (440 Appearances)
3. Venom (377 Appearances)
Top 5 Marvel Villains
1) Doctor Doom - 835 Appearances
2) Magneto - 816 Appearances.
3) Green Goblin - 597 Appearances
4) Kingpin - 533 Appearances
5) Loki - 493 Appearances
Norman's achievement is impressive because of the 20 year gap. By all rights, that should have given other Spidey rogues a lasting lead over him. And yet in the period of his return he quickly came back and ruled the roost. At the time of his death in ASM#122, Norman Osborn and Green Goblin made 24 appearances (

Norman Osborn went 40 real-time publication years without going to jail. That's a Marvel record, in that time Kingpin, Doom, Magneto and others went to jail or were deposed but not Norman.
My favorite Goblin stories are:
-- ASM#14 - The Grotesque Adventure of the Green Goblin (his first appearance and man is he great there)
-- ASM#26-27 - The Crime Master
-- Revenge of the Green Goblin
-- Marvel Knights Spider-Man (which on the whole is the best story with Norman in it, and the best look at Peter and Norman's rivalry)
-- Osborn.
