Marvel Two-in-One
Marvel Two-in-One is an American comic book series published by Marvel Comics featuring Fantastic Four member the Thing in a different team-up each issue. Publication history. Original series. The concept of teaming the Thing with a different character in each issue was given a test run in "Marvel Feature" #11-12 and proved a success. "Marvel Two-in-One" continued from the team-up stories in the final two issues of "Marvel Feature" and lasted for 100 issues from January 1974 through June 1983. Seven "Annual"s were also published. Artist Ron Wilson began  his long association with the title with issue #12 (November 1975) and worked on it throughout its run. With issue #17, the series had a crossover with "Marvel Team-Up" #47, which featured Spider-Man. The second "Marvel Two-in-One Annual" was a crossover with "Avengers Annual" #7, both of which were written and drawn by Jim Starlin. The "Project Pegasus" storyline in "Marvel Two-in-One" #53-58 saw the introduction of the name "Quasar" for the Wendell Vaughn character and the transformation of Wundarr into the Aquarian. Due to a binding error, three copies of issue 74  were released with the cover of DC's "The New Teen Titans" issue #6 in April 1981. Comics creators who contributed to the series include Steve Gerber, Jack Kirby (who did pencils on several covers during its run), Marv Wolfman, John Buscema, John Byrne, Frank Miller, and George Pérez. "Marvel Two-In-One" ended after 100 issues and seven "Annual"s. It was immediately replaced by a "Thing" solo series. Revival. As part of "Marvel Legacy", a soft relaunch of the Marvel Universe, "Marvel Two-In-One" (stylized as "Marvel 2-in-One") was revived in December 2017 with a new  story titled "The Fate of the Four" that revolves around the Thing and the Human Torch going on a road trip to investigate the disappearance of Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Franklin, and Valeria Richards. The series was written by Chip Zdarsky and ran for 12 issues and one "Annual". The series was penciled by Jim Cheung (issues #1, 2, and 6), Valerio Schiti (issues #3–5), Ramon K.
