Marvel Two-in-One is anAmerican comic book series published byMarvel Comics featuringFantastic Four member theThing in a differentteam-up each issue.
The concept of teaming the Thing with a different character in each issue was given a test run inMarvel Feature #11-12 and proved a success.[1]Marvel Two-in-One continued from the team-up stories in the final two issues ofMarvel Feature and lasted for 100 issues from January 1974[2] through June 1983. SevenAnnuals were also published.[3] ArtistRon Wilson began his long association with the title with issue #12 (November 1975) and worked on it throughout its run.[4] With issue #17, the series had a crossover withMarvel Team-Up #47, which featuredSpider-Man.[5] The secondMarvel Two-in-One Annual was a crossover withAvengers Annual #7, both of which were written and drawn byJim Starlin.[6] The "Project Pegasus" storyline inMarvel Two-in-One #53-58 saw the introduction of the name "Quasar" for the Wendell Vaughn character[7] and the transformation ofWundarr into the Aquarian.[8]
Due to a binding error, three copies of issue 74 were released with the cover of DC'sThe New Teen Titans issue #6 in April 1981.[9]
Comics creators who contributed to the series includeSteve Gerber,Jack Kirby (who did pencils on several covers during its run),Marv Wolfman,John Buscema,John Byrne,Frank Miller, andGeorge Pérez.[10]
Marvel Two-In-One ended after 100 issues and sevenAnnuals. It was immediately replaced by aThing solo series.
As part ofMarvel Legacy, a soft relaunch of theMarvel Universe,Marvel Two-In-One (stylized asMarvel 2-in-One)[11] was revived in December 2017 with a new story titled "The Fate of the Four" that revolves around theThing and theHuman Torch going on a road trip to investigate the disappearance ofReed Richards,Sue Storm,Franklin, andValeria Richards.[12] The series was written byChip Zdarsky and ran for 12 issues and oneAnnual.[13] The series was penciled byJim Cheung (issues #1, 2, and 6), Valerio Schiti (issues #3–5), Ramon K. Perez (issues #7–12), andDeclan Shalvey (Annual #1).[14]
