MARVEL TEAM-UP #15
by Len Wein, Ross Andru, and Don Perlin
Spider-Man and Ghost Rider vs. The Orb!
POINTLESS TRIVIA
BEN: First appearance and origin of the freaking Orb!
DUY: In other news, whether he's Peter or Spidey, Spider-Man remains the only guy in the universe capable of making riding a motorcycle uncool.
WHAT'S AGED THE BEST?
BEN: Not only does this comic have the best co-star yet, one of Marvel’s greatest characters the Ghost Rider, but it has the Orb. The Orb!
DUY: Peter having unconscious sexist biases is a thing even in Into the Spider-Verse. Why is there SJW propaganda in my modern comics.... in the 1970s???
BEN: Plus, the Orb!
DUY: I'm surprised they didn't call him The Eyeball.
BEN: That's racist.
WHAT'S AGED THE WORST?
BEN: Johnny performs in his stunt show as the Ghost Rider?
DUY: Is mind control a thing? I feel we saw it once in Stan's entire run (the Ringmaster) and now we've seen like 10 of it.
BEN: I wonder what was in the zeitgeist about mind control.
NITPICKS
DUY: The cover. His name is Ghost Rider, Peter, he's not going to "die".
BEN: Yet another cover that doesn’t reflect anything from inside.
DUY: I'm really getting annoyed at how quickly the endings come in these issues.
BEN: I’m guessing not a lot of time was spent on them, in any capacity.
FAVORITE PANEL
BEN: I don’t know why Mary Jane is standing like that but I find it appealing:
DUY: The image of Ghost Rider holding a contract is hilarious.
BEN: Sign here for termite insurance.
WHO WON THE COMIC?
BEN: All of us, because of the greatness of this comic. Pure unfiltered greatness.
DUY: Ross Andru, whose art I think is starting to come together.
BEN: You accidentally forgot to mention how great it all was.
