Ye...I hedged my bets by getting both titles, Chris. Yeah, sometimes the choice of contents was a bit of a mystery. Having said that, I enjoyed the Ant Man/Giant Man tales.<br /><br />******<br /><br />Ah, McScotty - you need to try and track down a copy of the 1991 softcover collection, Crossover Classics - ISBN # 0-87135-858-1. It contains the first four DC/Marvel crossovers.<br /><br />******<br /><br />Incidentally, I missed out #41 when I first posted this, but have now added it. That means I've deleted #46 (which CJ refers to in his comment), as it more properly belongs in the next and final part.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-77266950254236006062016-01-04T16:21:28.609+00:002016-01-04T16:21:28.609+00:00I liked the Super-Heroes during this period with t...I liked the Super-Heroes during this period with the Thing team ups and Bloodstone, for me the title should have had these type of strips in it after the Surfer Surfers stories ended and perhaps it would have been more successful - saying that the Scarecrow for me, was just an awful character. Bloodstone had some great episodes in Rampaging Hulk magazine (US original) following his short run in Marvel Presents with John Buscema and Ruby Nebres doing some great art (to compliment the great Pay Boyette's work here) . I never really liked the idea of the Marvel- DC cross overs at the time although if it had been done a few years earlier I would have been in fanboy heaven- to date I have never read a single DC/Marvel cross over title something that 11 - 14 year old me would not have be hapPy at!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03536231589069194279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-21312226494111381522016-01-04T16:17:06.262+00:002016-01-04T16:17:06.262+00:00Like the X-Men, I'd switched across to the Tit...Like the X-Men, I'd switched across to the Titans by then. Giant-Man was hopelessly out of continuity (should have been the back up in Avengers 1 rather than Dr Strange) and the Thing should have been there sooner with those Marvel Two in One strips. Oh to have been the Marvel UK overlord picking and choosing which strips to reprint.Crispynevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16162688835912122159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-34209265684401507692016-01-04T15:01:47.892+00:002016-01-04T15:01:47.892+00:00I'm surprised Marvel got away with the Scarecr...I'm surprised Marvel got away with the Scarecrow, Baab, as DC had their own version. Marvel also had an earlier version (to their 2nd one, not DC's), who was an adversary of Iron Man.<br /><br />******<br /><br />For a comics reader, CJ, you seem to have great difficulty sometimes in the required 'suspension of disbelief' faculty when it comes to reading them. The first Superman/Spider-Man team-up is a belter, and my attitude was simply to accept the premise of 'What If...Superman and Spider-Man co-existed in the same universe?' and enjoy it. Marvel has had more than one version of Atlantis (Kala, Queen of the Netherworld in Iron Man), so the idea that there could be two or three is not insurmountable - if the DC and Marvel universes co-existed.

But I had no interest at all in Spider-man vs. Superman - I hate those Marvel/DC crossovers, they are completely illogical (how come the Marvel/DC characters don't meet on a regular basis and if Namor and Aquaman are both king of Atlantis are there two Atlantises ?)
