Cause, God help me, I think I'm gonna try to collect them all.
I consider a team-up book as an Ongoing series, usually featuring Two heroes, one of which rotates on an issue to issue basis. I'm also only looking for American comics.
Therefore: I'm not interested in limited series, such as Elektra/Wolverine or the Flash/Green Lantern or Green Arrow/Question Brave and the Bold Series.
Or team books, although I'm MORE curious about team books with a rotating cast, like Secret Defenders or Suicide Squad.
OR books that feature the same two characters teaming up in every issue, like Superman/Batman or Daredevil/Black Widow or Cloak and Dagger.
So I'm tryin' to put together a comprehensive list of comics that meet this criteria. I'd like to have 'em all in SOME format, be it Trade, Essential Volume, or reprint.
So I'd like to run this list by CBR an' see if I'm MISSING any comics that should be on the list. I'm especially curious for books that are not by Marvel or DC, since I can't think of any. Although I'm probably not buying "Spawn team-up," cause I think early Image is really doofy.
Also, of those books I don't have, I'm wonderin' which issues you all think were particularly good or worth collecting.
Usually, a team-up book will feature the names of it's two leads on the cover. But not always. However, any book with "Team Up" in the title is a given.
Uncompleted Runs
Brave and the Bold: 50-200. NOT 57 and 58? Rotating cast till # 73? but ALL Batman team-upsafter. have: Most of 96-140. Maybe 3-5 issues from before and 3-5 issues from after that.
Marvel Team-up (vol 1): 1-150. Mostly Spider-man leads, with a few Human Torch leads between 18 and 35, and a few Hulk leads later. Also one Aunt May lead. I have: All but about 15 scattered issues. I've READ every issue of this series.
Marvel Two-In-One: 1-100. All Thing leads. I have: A little more than half of these, widely scattered.
