"Wait, Groove!" you say? "If that was the back-up, what was the lead story in MTU #100?" You could look it up...or you could just hang in there 'til next month (unless Ol' Groove forgets. Then you'll have to remind him...)

Marvel-ous Monday: "Cry--Vengeance!" by Claremont, Byrne, and McLeod
Greetings, Groove-ophiles! Ya know. a lotta folks think that Chris Claremont and John Byrne's final ish of Marvel Team-Up was MTU #79 (December 1978)--you know, the legendary Spider-Man/Red Sonja classic. Well, Ol' Groove's here to tell ya, that the X-Men teameo-supremeo did one more ish of MTU--although it was "just" the back-up in MTU #100 (September 1980). But what a back-up: Black Panther and Storm! Seems the two had a history from back in their younger days--so of course that "history" came back to cause 'em problems! (They are superheroes, after all!) The only bad thing about this story is that in 2006, somebody at Marvel must've mis-read it and got the idea that the two should be married. Oh. well, at least we'll always have "Cry--Vengeance!" (with those sweet Bob McLeod inks!)

Man, it would be nice if Byrne could just go back to having somebody ink his art and maybe just co-plotting when it comes to writing...

ReplyDeleteWhat are the odds, eh?
Still, thats old Marvels for you. As you say, Groove, the Byrne/McLeod team-up is the thing. Thanks for posting.
