About this Issue

Marvel Two-in-One #30 (August 1977) is Spider-Woman's second full appearance — and the issue where writer Marv Wolfman began actively reshaping Jessica Drew into a character capable of sustaining her own series, seeding doubts about her Hydra-controlled origins that would unravel across the following issues. Set against London landmarks including Westminster Abbey and Big Ben, the story is also a rare departure from Marvel Two-in-One's usual New York setting, giving it a distinct Bronze Age atmosphere. The issue kicks off a multi-part arc (through #33) that functioned as an extended audition reel for Spider-Woman's solo title, launched in 1978, which became the first Marvel heroine's solo series to reach 50 issues. Two minor antagonists, the treasure-hunting thieves Trevor and Chauncy, make their first and only significant appearances here as the issue's secondary villains.

History

Spider-Woman had debuted just months earlier in Marvel Spotlight #32 (cover date February 1977), a rush publication Stan Lee authorized to lock in Marvel's trademark on the name. Wolfman, who initially dismissed the character as a gimmick, saw the finished product and changed his mind — he campaigned to bring her into Marvel Two-in-One, which he also wrote and edited, using the title's team-up format to flesh out Jessica Drew's personality and begin revising her unwieldy origin. The issue's cover was penciled by Rich Buckler and inked by Al Milgrom, while the interior story was penciled by John Buscema (with Pablo Marcos on inks), giving the book a polished mid-Bronze Age look consistent with the era's top Marvel output. The name 'Jessica Drew' was Wolfman's own contribution — he named the character after his newborn daughter Jessica.

Trivia · 9 facts

Second full appearance of Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew); her prior appearance in Marvel Two-in-One #29 was a cameo only.
Spider-Woman first appeared in Marvel Spotlight #32 (February 1977), created by Archie Goodwin and Marie Severin; this issue is her second full story appearance.
Written and edited by Marv Wolfman; interior art by John Buscema (pencils) and Pablo Marcos (inks); cover by Rich Buckler (pencils) and Al Milgrom (inks).
First appearances of minor antagonists Trevor and Chauncy, two London thieves hunting pieces of a hidden treasure map across iconic city landmarks.
The High Evolutionary (Herbert Edgar Wyndham) appears only in flashback/recap, as Spider-Woman recounts the Hydra-supplied origin story introduced in Marvel Spotlight #32.
Nick Fury appears via video screen, commissioning the Thing to capture Spider-Woman for S.H.I.E.L.D. — a rare non-New York field assignment for Ben Grimm.
The issue is part one of a three-part London arc (Marvel Two-in-One #30–33) that served as a deliberate build-up to Spider-Woman's solo series, launched April 1978 — which went on to run 50 issues, making her the first Marvel heroine to sustain a solo title that long at the time.
The story was collected in Marvel Masterworks: Spider-Woman Vol. 1 (2015), alongside Marvel Spotlight #32, Marvel Two-in-One #29–33, and Spider-Woman #1–8.
A 35-cent cover price variant exists, produced during Marvel's summer 1977 regional market test of the higher price point, alongside the standard 30-cent edition.
