*Marvel: The 1972-launched Marvel Team-Up paired Spidey (and occasionally the Human Torch) with a different one of Marvel’s best and boldest each issue, providing readers with a chance to be exposed to new and unfamiliar characters – and, by happy coincidence, enable Marvel to retain copyright on heroes who didn’t currently have their own series! MTU #1 – never distributed in the UK – teams Spider-Man with the Human Torch against the sinister Sandman, with an (after-the-fact retcon) cameo debut by Misty Knight. This first issue of a popular and long-running series is a nice grade copy, (cents of course since there were no UK distributed issues), with a glossy cover and black background, square corners, staples firm at spine and centrefold and supple white to off-white pages. There are a couple of spine ticks not breaking colour, and a tiny pressure mark top right edge which just does.
