Marvel Two-in-One #73 (Macchio/Wilson, Mar 1981). Ben and Quasar bust up a Roxxon operation stealing oil from the prehistoric past.

Invincible Iron Man #145 (Michelinie & Layton/Romita Jr, Apr 1981). Tony’s various industrial rivals all blur together for me. I’m waiting to see what’s going on with Bethany.

Moon Knight #6 (Moench/Sienkiewicz, Apr 1981). Feels weird that Brother Voodoo didn’t turn up.

Marvel Two-in-One #72 (Gruenwald & Macchio/Wilson, Feb 1981). Perfunctory wrap-up. New Attilan stands.

Marvel Two-in-One #71 (Gruenwald & Macchio/Wilson, Jan 1981). Crystal and Quicksilver are having a baby! Good thing Johnny’s not visiting, I’m sure he’d freak. Meanwhile, after nearly a decade, Reed finds a cure for the amphibious hydro-people… But since it negates the effects of terrigen mist, it poses an existential threat to the Inhumans of Attilan!

Uncanny X-Men #142 (Claremont/Byrne, Feb 1981). It took years to bring back the X-Men, and more years to build them up into major players. Now, with Days of Future Past invoking both the Fantastic Four (via the Baxter Building) and the Avengers (via Gyrich), it’s clear the merry mutants are here to stay.

Uncanny X-Men #141 (Claremont/Byrne, Jan 1981). Among the many bold moves in Days of Future Past, we glimpse an adult Franklin Richards, a redheaded telepath named Rachel, and a version of Magneto that may actually be an ally.

Defenders #91 (Hannigan/Perlin, Jan 1981). The Mandrill dominates Valkyrie again and pits her against Hellcat.

Bizarre Adventures #25 (Macchio/Gulacy, Feb 1981). I’ve slogged through a few of these B&W magazines by now. This is the first time the format enhanced the story — rich shadows make Natasha’s latest mission sexier and more mysterious. Then, and I swear this is true, Humphrey Bogart turns up?! Well, I suppose the title did promise it would be bizarre.

Ghost Rider #52 (Fleisher/Perlin, Jan 1981). This creative team has torn Blaze away from any relationships or places. He just wanders through a seemingly endless array of motorcycle races and supernatural encounters.

Moon Knight #5 (Moench/Sienkiewicz, Mar 1981). A convoluted, experimental tale that kinda treats flashbacks as ghosts. I think. In this panel, Sienkiewicz’s style coheres a bit more into what I expect of him.

Fantastic Four #227 (Moench/Sienkiewicz, Feb 1981). Oil-guzzling brain parasites disrupt the fam’s lakeside vacation. Franklin (unwittingly?) detonates possessed creatures with his mind! This era manages to balance the sweetness of the established family dynamic with some newly twisted plots.

Thor #304 (Gruenwald & Macchio/Pollard, Feb 1981). The Wrecking Crew break out of jail to gang up on Thor. They are… pre-successful.

Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man #52 (Stern/Leonardi, Mar 1981). Colonel Mace, a Luke Cage villain, declares war on all superheroes — and his first target is Hector Ayala, the White Tiger. Although Pete’s able to shut down Mace’s mad army, Hector loses so much that he gives up his powers and skips town.

Moon Knight #4 (Moench/Sienkiewicz, Feb 1981). A ferocious crime story, reconciling MK’s earliest appearances in Werewolf by Night. The Committee dispatches five assassins to kill Spector, the mercenary who ran off with their money before completing his assignment. Armed with his allies and multiple identities, MK picks off his attackers one by one…
