MARVEL TEAM-UP #13
by Len Wein, Gil Kane, and Frank Giacoia
Spider-Man and Captain America vs. The Grey Gargoyle!
POINTLESS TRIVIA
DUY: Cap and a Thor villain. It's really like they draw these things out of a hat.
WHAT'S AGED THE BEST?
BEN: A.I.M. costumes really shouldn’t be in this category, but I’m doing it.
WHAT'S AGED THE WORST?
BEN: Nick Fury’s dialogue. Was him saying “just” as “jest” a thing? Now that I think about it, classic Fury altogether. Never liked him.
DUY: Anyone trying to do the dialects Stan was doing immediately afterwards almost always failed.
BEN: I’d like to take this moment to point out Wein, Wolfman, and Roy Thomas are some of my least favorite writers ever. I know I’m in the minority, they did important stuff, I don’t like most of it personally. There’s a fine line writing Captain America where he can veer into annoyingly rigid and judgemental, and Wein veered there.
BEN: They really couldn’t even keep Spider-Man’s head position consistent on the same page?
DUY: How do two of the world's greatest heroes win against the Grey frickin' Gargoyle? Blind luck.
FAVORITE PANEL
DUY: Mine:
WHO WON THE COMIC?
DUY: Jim Mooney is incredible.
BEN: Jim Mooney, because it’s clear Romita’s art never looked better than it did with Mooney finishing it.
DUY: That's it for Spider-Rama this week.
BEN: Thank you, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko—
DUY: —for telling us we aren't the only ones.
