Descrizione
ALBO ORIGINALE DEL 1978
La storia principale di questo numero tratta da MARVEL TEAM-UP # 50 del 10/76 è la seconda parte dell’ ingarbugliato ed evanescente trittico che vede incrociarsi e sovrapporsi l’ indefesso tessitore Spider-Man con addirittura altri due suoi colleghi supereroi anzichè uno solo come da manuale procedurale standard, infatti con il ragnatelaro ci sono sia l’ etereo ed alchemico DR. STRANGE che il blindato e pressofuso IRON MAN, e, tutti e tre sono trafelati ed indaffarati a scaricarsi il barile tra loro, a passarsi continuamente il cerino acceso l’ uno con l’ altro e ad inventare false scuse e finte giustificazioni per far chinare uno degli altri due a raccogliere la saponetta nella doccia
contiene inoltre : IRON – MAN e DEVIL (con la seconda parte dell’ episodio in cui è supportato dal paragnosta spoonbender URI GELLER, oggi vittima di un feroce e accanito revisionismo negazionista, che ha molti punti comuni con quello professato ed attuato da alcuni storici nei confronti dell’ olocausto, e forse nemmeno del tutto a caso visto che il celebre parapsicologo guarda caso è israeliano)
CONDIZIONI : MOLTO BUONE, TRACCE RESIDUE DI SCOTCH ASPORTATO IN COSTOLA (SIA LA PARTE ESTERNA CHE INTERNA), IN COPERTINA (FRONTE E RETRO) LIEVE CEDIMENTO CON LACERAZIONI ORIZZONTALI DI CIRCA 2 CM SOTTO LA GRAFFETTA SUPERIORE, L’ ALBO NON E’ DI BUSTA, NO ADESIVI

Synopsis
Spider-Man, Jean DeWolff and Iron Man
recruit Dr. Strange to help them solve the mystery of the identity of
the Wraith, believing there to be a supernatural element when evidence
suggests that the Wraith is possibly Jean’s deceased brother Brian.
As Spider-Man and Dr. Strange go back to the scene of Brian’s
death, Iron Man reviews the forensic evidence and Jean DeWolff goes to
investigate her brother’s tomb. As Spider-Man and Dr. Strange learn that
Brian wasn’t killed on the scene, Iron Man finds that the fingerprints
on the Wraith’s notes match that of Phillip DeWolff, and Jean is shocked
to find her father and the Wraith hiding out in a secret laboratory
where she is captured.
When Dr. Strange and Spider-Man arrive they too are incapacitated
and taken over. Phillip then explains how he pulled his son off the
scene of the crime and invested money on inventions that might restore
him to life, and save him from the bullet wound to his head. The last
experiment instead linked their minds, so that Brian, in his trance-like
state, was able to be controlled by Phillip. Phillip created the Wraith
identity to take revenge on criminals using lethal force.
When the heroes break free, Iron Man also arrives with a
specially prepared helmet. Iron Man puts the helmet on Phillip,
incapacitating both he and the Wraith. Although they defeated their
foes, Brian’s health is still affected by the bullet.

Synopsis
Iron Man field tests his para-gravity deflector, an invention that’s
claimed to have been stolen by Stark, as it’s already patented by
someone else. Leaving orbit from Stark Satellite One, the high-tech
parachute explodes, causing everyone to think Iron Man is dead. He’s
eventually found in the ocean by the ship Northern Lights, sailing to
England. While on board, he discovers his armor has been damaged. Having
heard the news of Iron Man’s survival, Abe and Krissy leave for London
to meet him, but when they arrive they’re kidnapped by Kraken’s men. As
the Northern Lights approaches England, they’re attacked by Kraken’s
ship the Albatross. Iron Man is defeated by Kraken, the Northern Lights
crew is taken captive and their ship is destroyed. The Albatross
transforms into a submarine, and Iron Man follows it into an undersea
cave. After he gets a dizzy sensation, feeling weak in his limbs, he
attempts to sneak inside but he’s captured by Kraken and taken to Abe
and Krissy.
