Marvel Team-Up #28

This December 1974 Marvel Team-Up pairs Spider-Man with the mighty Hercules against the villainous City-Stealers — and the cover by Gil Kane and Dick Giordano makes the stakes immediately clear, with a crumbling cityscape, terrified civilians caught in the rubble, and Spider-Man leaping urgently into action while Hercules strains to hold back catastrophe. The cover copy says it all: "Spider-powers plus sheer brute force" versus a threat so bold it would steal — or destroy — an entire city. Gerry Conway and Jim Mooney deliver the kind of high-concept, high-energy team-up that makes this series such a reliable thrill.
