The Marvel Team-Up #1 in context
Why collectors care
The first issue of Marvel Team-Up, cover-dated March 1972, pairing Spider-Man with a rotating co-star. The series ran for well over a hundred issues and is a recognizable Bronze Age launch.
How to identify it
Marvel Team-Up #1, March 1972, featuring Spider-Man and the Human Torch. This is a series debut, not a character first appearance.
Common mistakes
Reading first-appearance value into a series #1. Price this book as a Bronze Age launch issue and a grade play.
Grade considerations
A 1972 book printed in quantity, so raw copies are available and value concentrates in high grade. Spine ticks are the usual limiter.
