Marvel Team-Up #147

Marvel Team-Up #147, released in November 1984, arrived during a period when the series had shifted away from its original premise of pairing Spider-Man with various heroes to focus heavily on his partnership with Firestar. Published toward the end of the title's original run, the issue was written by Tom DeFalco and illustrated by Greg LaRocque, reflecting the mid-1980s editorial mandate to integrate the mutants of the Marvel Universe more deeply into the wider web of ongoing series.

The cover art, provided by Kerry Gammill, features a character-focused composition typical of the era, emphasizing the action-oriented storytelling that defined the period. While the issue serves as a relatively standard installment in a long-running anthology, it is noted by collectors for its place in the transitional era of Marvel history, bridging the gap between the classic team-up stories of the 1970s and the more interconnected, serialized narratives that would come to dominate the industry in the late 1980s.
