By now it’s already obvious that aspects of one team-up story tend to flow into the next, even when the next issue is a different guest. The Morbius thing started with The…

Gerry Conway still writes, Gil Kane still draws and Mike Esposito hangs on to ink as we return to Team-Up. We open on Spider-Man swinging around when he spots a guy staggering…
