I know this comic is from '87, but it reprints a classic tale from '78. Marvel Tales 202 = Marvel Team-Up 66. Cover art by John Byrne n Frank Giacoia. Great team-up of Spidey n Capt. Britain by Chris Claremont with art by Byrne and Dave Hunt. Was never really an X-fan, so most of my exposure to Claremont/Byrne magic was through their excellent run on MTU.
The sequence that starts this issue - with Spidey and CB trapped in a giant pinball game - is one of the best action sequences of the 1970s. Great stuff...
This two-part story was the first MTU sequence reprinted in Marvel Tales, which did a great job of providing younger fans with classic Spidey stories for 30 years before ending its run in '94...
