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 somewhat softened by Bob Wiacek's inks. Page layouts and pacing are meticulously planned, bringing cohesion to nearly thirty pages. 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
