GET READY TO WALK A WIDER WEB! COVER REVEAL AND BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT!

Are you ready for a cover reveal?

COMING THIS AUGUST!

Jim Beard Reads Every Issue of Marvel Team-Up
…So You Don’t Have To!

It was one of the offspring of Marvel Comics’ 1972 explosion of new titles, a wonderful way to weave a wider web for the company’s flagship hero, the Amazing Spider-Man, and invite other characters into that web for team-up tales in the Mighty Marvel Manner! From 1972 until 1983, Marvel Team-Up grew to be a favorite stop for superhero aficionados questing for more thrills and chills with their friendly neighborhood webslinger—and the book delivered it as only the House of Ideas could!

Now, writer-editor Jim Beard is back with a comprehensive collection of Marvel Team-Up issue-by-issue reviews, as well as an eclectic offering of essays on key moments in the mag’s history by some of today’s finest comic book historians and fans! It’s another personal and personable odyssey through one of the industry’s greatest comic book titles ever!

My essay looks at the career of mainstay Marvel Team-Up artist, Sal Buscema.

Walking the Wider Web offers dossiers on all 150 issues of Marvel Team-Up plus Marvel Team-Up Annual, Giant-Size Super-Heroes, and Giant-Size Spider-Man. It also includes essays on Marvel Monsters, the Salem Saga, Claremont-Byrne, and more by writers Joe Crowe, Keith R.A. DeCandido, Joseph Dilworth, Michael Gordon, Bobby Nash, John Peel, Van Allen Plexico, and R.P. Steeves, as well as a Foreword by comics legend and MTU scribe David Michelinie! It’s a team-up of epic proportions and it’s all right here in these pulse-pounding pages, Effendi!
