About this Collection

This 2005 Marvel collection reprints the classic 1979 team-up between the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man, originally published as Marvel Team-Up Annual #1 and Fantastic Four Annual #13. The story brings together the two iconic teams to face a threat from the Negative Zone, with artwork by John Byrne and writing by Chris Claremont and Marv Wolfman. It's a nostalgic look at a crossover era when Marvel's heroes regularly joined forces in oversized annuals.

In "Spider-Man vs. The Chameleon!", the Frightful Four launch a daring assault on the Baxter Building, using a cunning disguise to infiltrate the heart of the Fantastic Four's stronghold. With the real Spider-Man trapped and the team under siege, it's up to the web-slinger to break free and turn the tide—this time with help from Reed Richards himself. Written by Bill Mantlo and brought to life by John Byrne’s dynamic art, with Joe Sinnott’s inks and Ben Sean’s colors, the issue delivers a sharp, action-packed clash of wits and strength. The cover, a striking collaboration by Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, captures the tension in a single, iconic image.

When the Frightful Four break into the Baxter Building, they're met with a familiar foe—only this time, it's not the real Spider-Man.

With quick thinking and a little help from a web-slinging ally, they're about to turn the tables on a villain who's counting on their trust.
