Gil Kane’s Star Hawks, a daily comic strip published in 1977, after the pop culture defining hit of Star Wars.
People who only know the newspaper comic strip as just fuddy duddy jokes might want to look how cool and prestigious some of the old adventure and romance strips were.

Marvel Team-Up #5 (Conway/Kane, Nov 1972). Pete finds The Vision, reeling from the reassertion of Simon Williams’ brainwaves. Together they foil the Puppet Master’s latest ploy.
Astonishing Tales #15 (Friedrich/Kane, Dec 1972). Bobbi brings Ka-Zar back to the concrete jungle, where drug pushers are just as dangerous as the Savage Land’s beasts… and even more cunning!
Power of Warlock #3 (Friedrich/Kane, Dec 1972). Marvel’s most fascinating exploration of power so far! Having abused his nigh-omnipotence in anger, Warlock tries to temper himself. But does that mean cooperating with the military industrial complex?
Marvel Team-Up #6 (Conway/Kane, Jan 1973). After years of Spidey’s lone wolf routine, this book finally lets him bond with other heroes. Here, he meets Alicia and realizes Ben must not be such a brute. Really looking forward to seeing Pete eventually become an extended member of the First Fam.
Amazing Spider-Man #120 (Conway/Kane, May 1973). Gil Kane taps in to finish this showdown. Pete’s investigation into Aunt May’s telegram ends abruptly when the Canadian sender is assassinated. Reader, I gasped.

The Namor the Sub-Mariner 2020 Advent Calendar
Welcome to a Namor Advent Calendar! Have a bit of Namor cheer for each of the 24 days till Christmas! This year I’ll be highlighting Namor Team-Ups!
DAY 22: SPIDER-MAN
Today’s team-up is from an actual team-up book, Marvel Team-Up 14. Unlike the previous two team-ups, Namor and Spider-Man’s co-operative adventures usually started with a misunderstanding, followed by a fight, followed by realization, followed, finally, by the team-up. Namor and Spidey just never seemed to get along when they first meet. It may have something to do with Spider-Man’s cocky quipping and Namor’s prickly personality.
But once matters are explained and apologies offered, Namor and Spider-Man combine their powers in the true spirit of team-up. Yes, Namor is the power boat for a water skiing Spidey.
Bonus picture! Spider-Man actually teams up with Namor to defeat the trumpet tooting Doctor Doom in Spidey Super Stories 53!
