Marvel Two-in-One is an

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

Avengers Annual #7, both of which were written and drawn by Jim Starlin.[6] The "Project Pegasus" storyline in Marvel Two-in-One #53-58 saw the introduction of the name "Quasar" for the Wendell Vaughn character[7] and the transformation of Wundarr into the Aquarian.[8]

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.[9]

Comics creators who contributed to the series include

Marvel Two-In-One ended after 100 issues and seven Annuals. It was immediately replaced by a

Thing solo series
.

Revival

As part of

Franklin, and Valeria Richards.[12] The series was written by Chip Zdarsky and ran for 12 issues and one Annual.[13] The series was penciled by Jim Cheung (issues #1, 2, and 6), Valerio Schiti (issues #3–5), Ramon K. Perez (issues #7–12), and Declan Shalvey (Annual #1).[14]
