Marvel Team-Up #45

Gil Kane's cover for this May 1976 issue captures the wild energy promised by the tagline — "The War of the Worlds Has Never Been Wilder!" — as Spider-Man and the sword-wielding Killraven clash through an explosion of shattered glass and debris, with a purple-clad enemy reeling between them and a female warrior leaping into action in the background. The cover copy boldly announces the story title "Future-Shock!" and teases Spidey going up against Martians in what it calls "the most earth-shaking struggle of all," making this team-up feel genuinely stakes-raising. Bill Mantlo's script and Sal Buscema's interior art promise the same kinetic energy that Kane so vividly conveys on the outside.
