[Marty Mann]

Picked up a few of these at an auction a few years back...they were interesting

comics..Always liked the looks of this cover.

MTU was a very hit or miss title for me. I really loved the John Byrne run.

 

Other stand outs for me were MTU12 with the werewolf, probably because the cover is so cool, anything with DD, and the Thing in issue 47 (which crossed over in MTIO).

This is a good read. I'm actually surprised they haven't done anything with White Rabbit. Sexy woman, great name, and she seemed smart, her goons weren't though.

Let me guess, the back story for this character includes some misdeed by Hugh Hefner (who is loosely disguised in the comic with a name like Huge Heckler) at the Playboy mansion.

So DC and Marvel each have a character called Mockingbird and White Rabbit? Or did Marvel lose the rights to them and DC snagged them up?

Another interesting cover.

The early MTUs, in the 1-15 range, were always the mythical books for me growing up. I read the current issues and had some older passed-down copies in the 20's, but I could only imagine the wild and amazing stories that were told there, but all I could do was look up at the ceiling of the LCS and gasp at the outlandish prices.

 

When I finally completed a HG run of MTU 1-30, with lots of dupes, it was one of my favorite times in comic collecting.

 

MTU 26 is one of my favorite issues of the early series, as it was a pretty dark story (poor Molto!) with lots of references to past Marvel mags (and I'd always show my friends the missing wings on Thor's helmet), and I can remember looking for years at what became of those "laughing men" in the last panel.

This is one of my favorite covers.

 

 

 

ick .. my scanner did a horrible job there

[divad]

Looks like a great scan to me.

[Brian48]

Yep. The first couple years were amazing for me. Especially the Gil Kane issues. I believe MTU #6 was my very first Spidey book.

 

I view the MTU run just like the (Batman) Brave and the Bold. Had some very under appreciated runs when it was actually good, but overall was very mediocre so I suppose it deserved to play second fiddle to the titles.

The colors look a little washed out in the scan Thanks though!

forgotten series, but yes, the first couple of years were very good. the sandman christmas story was a keeper.

Marvel Team-up 23 was another favorite of mine, as veered away from the traditional Spider-man team-up in favor of a now-classic Human Torch - Iceman tilt.

 

It's also the first appearance of Equinox (a villain Claremont and Byrne brought back to MTU 59-60), and it is important for another reason - it has the old X-Men (in their final appearance?) telling Iceman to meet them for their "Secret Mission" (to Krakatoa) that provides the impetus for the New X-Men run in GS #1.

 

A fun little story with a lot of Marvel Mythos tossed in. How could a kid see this cover on the spinner rack and *not* pick it up.

I always loved the 41-44 story arc. Time travelling romp featuring Spidey, Scarlet Witch, Vision, and Dr Doom against a cool villain by the name of Dark Rider. Real fun read

I loved the first couple of issues with the Scarlet Witch and Vision, but then it got kind of zany when Doc Doom and Moondragon showed up.

I loved that arc too, #27 was one of my favorites.

Nice pick up on the X-Men secret mission.

 

Hmmmmmmm, I wonder if GS Spider-Man is Equinox's true first appearance.

I think these issues were released at the same time, and since the GS app is one of those "in the shadows" things, MTU 23 is given the First Appearance.
