Remember how we said Marvel Team-Up has a tendency to get bug nuts? Well, strap in because we have ourselves another time travel tale! Marvel Team-Up #41-42 (1976) Spider-Man, Vision, and Scarlet Witch By Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema All in one thin, brilliantly realized, crazy pants single issue.Ģ4. But here they are, in all their 1973 glory, Spider-Man and Iron Man lost in time, fighting two time dictators, and punching people with science. Reading this issue today, one will find it interesting to see Parker and Stark as heroic equals rather than the mentor/student relationship we’ve gotten in all sorts of media. This issue also serves as a prototype for many Spidey/Iron Man team ups to come, including the one that’s about to break the box office bank. These days, this one issue of MTU would be a 12 part event series with 32 crossovers, but back in the day, Conway and Andru loaded a single issue with Marvel madness and thrust it upon a hungry readership. Spidey and Iron Man must save their future comrades, defeat both chronal despots and find a way home. But in this Marvel Team-Up, Zarkko has stepped up to the big leagues and has managed to take down the future Avengers. Zarkko is kind of like the backup infielder version of a time tyrant, he’s okay once in a while, but really, his name is Zarkko the Tomorrow Man. Now for those of you not in the know, Kang is like Marvel’s version of an evil Doctor from Doctor Who while Zarrko the Tomorrow Man is, well, he’s Zarkko the Tomorrow Man.

So since Spider-Man: Homecoming could be considered essentially a big budget Marvel Team-Up film between Spidey and Iron Man, let us take a look back at some of the most memorable issues of Marvel Team-Up to grace the Bronze Age newsstands.Ģ5. Some of Spider-Man’s amazing friends that shared the Marvel Team-Up marquee were profoundly unexpected. Each and every issue, Spider-Man would join forces with another Marvel character to have some of the most memorable and strangest adventures of the ’70s and ’80s. Peter Parker joining forces with other heroes is such a Marvel tradition that the Spidey-starring Marvel Team-Up became a cornerstone of Marvel’s Bronze Age. In fact, the very first issue of The Amazing Spider-Man features a team-up of Spidey and the Fantastic Four. In truth, Iron Man and Spider-Man joining forces is nothing new as the Friendly Neighborhood Wall-Crawler has teamed with just about every Marvel hero at some point or another. You may have noticed the front and center marketing of Iron Man in Spider-Man: Homecoming. ![]()
