Marvel Team-Up #5

Spider-Man clings to a city wall with his unmistakable red-and-blue suit, glancing back at a shadowy, caped figure descending behind him — and his exasperated "Aw, NO. NOT YOU." speech bubble says everything about how this team-up is going. The cover's tagline, "Menace of the Mystery Guest-Star!", keeps the partner's identity deliciously under wraps, with Bernard Chang and Scott Koblish delivering a dynamic, street-level composition that pulls you right in. Tom Peyer and Tom Grindberg bring this January 1998 chapter of Marvel Team-Up to life, and the promise of a reluctant alliance makes "Need to Know" a fun addition to the series.
