Marvel Team-Up #70

Few pairings feel as naturally thrilling as Spider-Man and the God of Thunder, and this 1978 installment of Marvel Team-Up delivers exactly that energy. John Byrne and Tom Palmer's cover says it all: a titanic Living Monolith looms over a city street, glowing-eyed and open-mouthed, with Spider-Man clinging desperately to the giant's massive fist while Thor charges in from the right, Mjolnir spinning and cape billowing, ready to even the odds. With Chris Claremont writing and John Byrne on interior art, "Whom Gods Destroy!" promises the kind of dynamic Marvel storytelling that made 1978 a genuinely exciting time to be reading comics.
