Marvel Team-Up #100 - Frank Miller art & cover, John Byrne art + 1st Karma

Frank Miller

Marvel Team-Up v1 #100, 1980 - Featuring Spider-man and the Fantastic Four, this double-sized milestone issue pits the heroes against Karma, a mutant marking her first appearance and origin. Frank Miller's cover portrays the FF's zombie-like state within a graphic, yet compelling design. Inside, his formidable pencils are softened and enhanced by Bob Wiacek's inks. This story was later reprinted in Marvel Tales v2 #250. Less impressive is John Byrne's back-up tale, teaming up the Black Panther with the X-men's Storm. His drawings seem more conservative than usual, residing within straightforward layouts. This is 20 of 20 Marvel Team-Up issues by Byrne and 3 of 5 Marvel Team-Up issues by Miller. /// key 1st appearance, 1st origin Xi'an Coy Manh as Karma, Milestone issue
