Title:
Marvel Team-Up
Synopsis:
After battling the Enchantress in Asgard, Spider-Man and Gargoyle are glad to be back on Earth and decide to spend some time together. Gargoyle explains his origin to Spidey, and the two rescue an elderly woman from some thugs, whom Spidey webs up to leave for the police. Gargoyle offers to escort the woman, Sadie Bass, back to her apartment, while Spidey decides to visit his Aunt May at Restwell Nursing Home. Gargoyle finds out that Sadie’s daughter has been trying to prolong her life by making her see various doctors, but Sadie feels that her time has come.
Meanwhile, Peter Parker learns that Aunt May’s fiancée, Nathan Lubensky, has left her and the nursing home after the death of another one of the old friends from his vaudeville days. Gargoyle takes Sadie and her daughter, Beatrice, on a flight around the city to relieve their burdens. They return to Sadie’s apartment, where Beatrice agrees to stop forcing her mother to
Meanwhile, Spidey deduces that Nathan might have returned to the boarded-up theater where he and his vaudeville friend used to perform on stage. Nathan paid an attendant from Restwell named Jose to bring him to the theater, but Jose flees when they are confronted by the same group of thugs that Spidey and Gargoyle had encountered earlier. The police never arrived to arrest them, so they escaped after Spidey’s web dissolved. Spidey arrives to find the thugs harassing Nathan and webs up two of them without the others noticing.
Aunt May, having been informed of Nathan’s whereabouts by Jose, arrives and threatens the thugs if they don’t leave her fiancée alone. Spidey appears from the shadows behind May and Nathan, which frightens the thugs away, but he doesn’t reveal himself to the elderly couple and lets them think that they drove the thugs off themselves. Back at Sadie’s apartment, Sadie decides to take a “rest” and passes away peacefully while holding Beatrice and Gargoyle’s hands. Leaving Beatrice alone to grieve, Gargoyle departs and runs into Spider-Man again. The two are unable to put what they’ve just experienced into words and sit quietly together on a rooftop,
