Marvel Team-Up #55 | 1st TIME & POWER GEMS | Gardener Debut | Byrne Art

THE PITCH: Forget the street-level sludge. We’re going to the Blue Area of the Moon. Spider-Man is currently glitching out from a lack of oxygen in a runaway rocket, and the only thing between him and a total system reset is the celestial titan Adam Warlock.

THE VIBE: This isn't just a team-up; it’s a hardware upgrade for the entire Marvel Universe. This is the First Appearance of the Gardener—an Elder of the Universe with enough power to rewrite your source code. Plus, we’re witnessing the debut of the Power and Time Gems. Before they were "Infinity Stones," they were raw, unfiltered cosmic exploits.

THE VISUALS: Hard-wired with high-fidelity pencils by John Byrne and a cover by Dave Cockrum that hits like a neon surge. This is the Bronze Age at terminal velocity.
