Comics Corner: Marvel Team-Up 88

   

Title: Marvel Team-Up
Issue Number: 88
Release Date: December 1979

Highlights

  • First appearance of Hole in the Wall Gang
  • We learn that Spider-Man, or rather, Peter Parker, doesn't know how to drive a car
Low Points
  • The cliffhanger ending from issue 87 doesn't pick up in this issue, and I don't know when or where it does
  • Generic crooks kidnap Sue Richard's son, and expect her to use her invisibility to break into a bank for them and rob it to get him back - Generic at its best
  • Story is very amateurish, nonsensical, and unbelievable, even from a fictional super hero standpoint
Oddities
  • Editor's Day Off - Several panels where Spider-Man's lenses are red
  • Sue Storm goes stag to ensure she's fully invisible
  • Spider-Man / Peter Parker quick change from street clothes to costume from panel to panel
  • The gang of thieves really think that kidnapping Sue and Reed's son will give them control over the Fantastic Four?
Rating (based on a 1 through 5 Stans grading system)
