Always did enjoy Byrne's run on MTU and this was one of the best,

Spider-Man marvel team ups were one of the best marvel comics of the time.

Spider-Man marvel team ups were one of the best marvel comics of the time.

I know it was one of the one's I always grabbed when I got comics. Always seemed to have a fantastic cover. Some of the covers with monsters on them are worthy of framing! Sheer awesomeness to a grade schooler!

Marvel TeamUp and Marvel Two in One were my gateways into the Marvel Universe. They always gave you a brief summary of guest hero & the villain's history & powers so you quickly got going. Plus most of the stories were one & done, but if not, they kept piling on more heroes to the tale. I think my favorite run was the issues Spidey travelled in time, meeting Deathlok & Killraven.

^ yes!!! Two-In-One, as well!! (The Thing's gig like Team Up was for Spider-Man).

And remember the Super-Villain Team-Up? Marvel was really rockin' in the mid-70s. And then we got Power Man and Iron Fist a little further on. Good times!!!

On the DC side, I always liked my World's Finest and Brave and the Bold.

Even as a kid, I could distinguish all of these from The Avengers, JLA, and Teen Titans in that a team of two had an altogether different dynamic than a solo or full team. I couldn't have put my finger on as to the why, but I got the distinction.

Really love this run on Marvel team up with Byrne and Claremont. It tends to get overshadowed by their X-Men run.

[Bruce Banner]

Loved Marvel Team-Up. Along with Marvel Two-In-One, it was a book I searched for every month.
(Similarly loved "DC Comics Presents" and "The Brave and the Bold" for the monthly team up action)...

Some of my favourite MTU issues:

Man, it's great seeing all those great covers again! Even better because I realize I still have all of 'em! I weeded out a lot of comics from my collection a few years back, but kept almost everything Spidey related and definitely kept any that Byrne worked on. I'll admit; I was (and still am, to an extent) a huge Byrne-head.

Love this cover so much:

One of my faves, too, Sammy. Byrne had a definite way of interpreting Spidey that was uniquely his own.

Interesting to note early on, that it wasn't always just Spider-Man Marvel Teaming Up.
