Marvel Team-Up #121

The cover by Ed Hannigan and Al Milgrom tells the story at a glance: Spider-Man cradles a flame-flickering, downed Human Torch on a city rooftop while the blue-suited Speed Demon charges toward them in a blur of motion — and the cover copy teases that only a mystery hero (marked by a pink question mark) can turn the tide. It's a genuinely fun setup, pairing two of Marvel's most enjoyable personalities against a villain whose power set makes them look badly outmatched. This September 1982 issue of Marvel Team-Up captures the series at its entertaining best — kinetic action, a crowd of startled bystanders looking on in the background, and just enough intrigue to keep you turning pages.
