thrilling, Sunday, August 08, 2010
At one time I had every issue of this comic but I had to sell them in tough economic times. It was good to see that the spiderman team-ups of yesteryear still give me the same thrill today.

More truly great older stories, Monday, January 04, 2010
This was the golden years for Marvel Team-Up. John Byrne inked a number of issues, and his list of guest stars was unique rather than prancing the same characters through time and again. Minor characters like Woodgod, Captain Britain, Havok, Tigra, Ms. Marvel, Iron Fist, Daughters of the Dragon, and Power Man went alongside Marvel's heavy hitters like Hulk, Iron Man, the Human Torch, Yellowjacket, and Captain America. Fighting alongside them in every issue was Spider-Man, and this was when Spidey was fun.
Most of the stories here are self-contained, with a few going over the course of two issues. All of the stories look great and even though they're in black and white you'll still love reading them. It was shortly after the last issue of this collection (issue 75) that MTU started going downhill both in artwork and story, but every issue here was good. They skipped issue 74, which had Spidey teaming up with the 70's cast of Saturday Night Live. I guess there were licensing problems they didn't want to work around. It would have been nice to see Dan Ackroyd and John Belushi again, but I'd rather they skip the issue than fail to print the volume.
Another great "Essential" volume and a nice trip down memory lane for 70's comic fans. Highly recommended.

The reason the Marvel Essentials were created, Friday, October 16, 2009
The Marvel Essentials were created for several different reasons. One of them was a obvious attempt to get new readers to read comics from the beginning. The second reason why the Marvel Essentials were created was to get cheap issues of old comics that collectors sell for fortunes and get them in a decent price range of roughly $10 (although the prices that have stared to climb, with Marvel Essentials being charged at $12 or $13 which I personally think makes them overpriced)
Marvel Team-Up is a decent book but its nothing to write home about. The stories are the same basic stories that you've read in the first and second volumes (Unlike Marvel Two In One which actually started to become more relevant to the Marvel Universe) and the art's pretty good too. I don't hate Marvel Team-Up but its a book that you would want to get cheaper
