DC and Marvel both used to put out regular monthly titles that featured at least two of their characters together in stories that (in theory) couldn't have happened in each others' solo titles.Now in the age of the never-ending crossover,they've fallen by the wayside. One-shots,mini-series,and crossovers are excluded.

I liked Batman Family and the regular Robin and Batgirl team-ups. But the more traditional team-up anthology book that I thought was consistently good was Marvel Two-In-One. The Thing served as a great host to help showcase the Marvel Universe each month. Marvel Team-Up always seemed more about Spider-Man to me than it promoted the guest. Maybe not, but it felt that way. Rom, Space Knight started to feel like a Team-Up book, too.

Marvel Team Up was my favourite.

My favorite team-up book ever is Haney and Aparo's Brave and the Bold. Fave Marvel book is Marvel Two-in-One, particularly the early Gerber issues, but I liked most of the run..

DC Comics Presents for me. Marvel Two-in- One a close second. Brave and the Bold usually had the better artwork, but I didn't care much for the many of the stories told.

I'm a bit of a fraud, in that I don't have enough DC experience to judge any of that, but I went for MTU. Unlike Beachy, I think Spidey was an excellent character to have as a team-up regular, because his arrogance and wise-cracking would often antagonise the 'guest stars' and it made fo an interesting dynamic. And, the fact that Claremont and Byrne had a long - and superb - run on it, didn't hurt.

I've never seen Peter Parker as being arrogant. If anything, he's full of self-doubt.

And I'm not being snippy - Spider-Man, in the comics I read, was no-one's patsy and kow-towed to no-one. One of the reasons I don't really like Tom Holland's version of the character. Call it self-confidence, rather than arrogance then, but in the comics of my youth, Spidey didn't think himself anyone's inferior - or at least never let on if he did.

With an honorable mention to Claremont sans Byrne which was also prety-tay great.

The thing with the team-up anthologies is that I tended to buy them based on who the guest star was. I was getting enough Batman, Spider-Man, and The Thing in other titles. I almost never bought World's Finest or DC Comics Presents because Superman bored me and he was always so super it was hard to believe he needed a pal to help him out. I see now that DC Comics Presents ran 97 issues. How bad must sales have been for DC not to have pushed for a 100th issue?

This was kind of a Team-Up comic:  I enjoyed reading this short-run (15 issue) title in the late 1970s; Captain Comet and the various villains would come across different DC characters regularly like Green Lantern, Manhunter, Darkseid, Hawkman, Hawkwoman, Black Canary, Kid Flash, or the Creeper for an issue or two each. It ended on a cliffhanger vs. the JSA, but I think #16 appeared in one of DC's Cancelled Cavalcade collections, and it was later recapped in JLA.

I don’t know the sales, but they were shutting the old Superman mythos down to make way for Byrne. Worlds Finest was cancelled too. But that last year or two of Pre-Crisis Superman was a bad era for the character. It was like they weren’t even trying.

I'm so starved for anything resembling my beloved heroes of the past, I'm enjoying the Scooby Doo teamups. Never been a fan of Scooby but the versions of the heroes that appear here are just great.
