Marvel Team-Up #84

Steve Leialoha's cover for this August 1979 issue crackles with kinetic energy, showing Spider-Man swinging into a chaotic industrial brawl alongside Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu, as the two heroes clash with an armored figure unleashing bright energy blasts and a purple-costumed opponent — all while armed soldiers in the background take aim. It's a wonderfully busy scene that captures the complementary appeal of pairing Spidey's acrobatic web-slinging with Shang-Chi's fierce hand-to-hand prowess. With Chris Claremont scripting and Sal Buscema on interior art, "Catch a Falling Hero" promises exactly the kind of fast-moving super-team action this series did so well in 1979.
