Greetings, Groove-ophiles!
Marvel Team-Up #58's (March 1977) "Panic on Pier One!" is what Marvel liked to call an "offbeat issue." Not only are
Spider-Man and
Ghost Rider a pretty mis-matched pair of partners, but the
Trapster is way down on the list of Marvel-ous villains. Not only that, but it's tough to swallow the idea the Villain Formerly Known as
Paste-Pot Pete could be a threat to either hero--much less to both of them. And yet, writer Chris Claremont and artists Sal Buscema and Pablo Marcos managed to craft an interesting enough tale, complete with a very memorable speech on super-hero responsibility in panel six of the final page. Today's so-called super-heroes need to read
Ol' Web-Head's sage speech!
