Title: Marvel Team-Up
Issue Number: 16

Highlights

  • First appearance of Basilisk, Basil Elks
  • Lots of action to keep you turning the pages
  • Origin of the Alpha and Omega gems
  • The Alpha gem gives Basil his powers
  • The Omega gem entraps Captain Marvel, leading to a cliff hanger ending
Low Points
  • Basilisk's eyes are a one stop shop of being able to do everything - They turn things to stone, dig holes, create quicksand, rubber, crystal shells, dig holes, make him fly, and even created his costume...It's too convenient
Oddities
  • Basil only gets caught by the security guard because he lost track of time gloating about stealing a gem
