MARVEL TEAM-UP #67

Cover shows good gloss with bright colors and sharp corners; a small spine tick is visible near the top edge and slight rubbing at the upper left corner. There is faint edge wear along the top and right border, and minor surface handling wear but no major creases or color breaks visible. The book is in a protective sleeve, which limits full assessment of gloss and texture; back cover and interior pages were not visible for review.

Marvel Team-Up #67 pairs Spider-Man with Tigra against Kraven the Hunter, part of the anthology-style team-up title that regularly rotated guest heroes alongside the wall-crawler. The issue is notable chiefly for its creative team: Chris Claremont scripts, with John Byrne on pencils and Joe Sinnott inking the cover, a pairing of talents who would soon define Marvel's late-1970s and 1980s output on titles like X-Men and Fantastic Four. No first appearances or origin material occur here; its interest lies in being an early example of the Claremont-Byrne collaboration rather than any landmark story event.

Market activity reflects a well-populated but modestly demanded back issue. Census figures show over a hundred certified copies with steady sales across grades, and pricing climbs sharply only at the top end, with 9.8 copies commanding a clear premium over 9.6 and below. This pattern is typical of Bronze Age team-up books that survive in quantity: raw copies in low and mid grades move for a few dollars, while pristine certified examples draw collector attention primarily for census-topping bragging rights and crossover interest from Claremont and Byrne completists.

This is a book for run-builders assembling complete Marvel Team-Up sets, Spider-Man or Tigra character collectors, and Claremont/Byrne art enthusiasts rather than key-issue investors. Raw copies in low and mid grade are readily available and inexpensive, trading close to cover price outside of true high-grade rarity. The gap between raw grades and a CGC 9.8 slab is substantial, driven less by narrative significance and more by the scarcity of surviving high-grade newsstand copies and the growing reputation of its art team.
