Marvel Team-Up had a quality not found in most of today's comics, nearly every issue had a self-contained story. Even if you had missed a couple of months, you could pick up any story in a minute. A long running subplot was three issues long in MTU (unlike today's comics with multiple issue/title cross-overs, and Wolverine's long lost step-cousin secretly revealed in some shadow of a corner panel in an issue 20 years ago, returned for revenge, or crap like that). Marvel Team-Up didn't dwell a lot on past events and therefore was the perfect title to introduce a comic novice to the Marvel Universe. If all that wasn't reason enough to love this title, every month MTU featured everyone's favorite wall-crawler, and a different super hero teamed up to thwart the plans of many of Marvel's cavalcade of evil-doers.
