Team-up







The Shield and the wizard met in Top Notch Comics #5. It was the first team-up between superheroes.


In superhero comic books, a team-up is a fictional crossover where two or more superheroes or superhero teams who usually do not appear together work together on a shared goal.[1]

Overview


The first team-up between characters published in different comics from the same publisher was made in 1940, by the editorial MLJ Comics. Pep Comics #4, by Harry Shorten and Irv Novick, featured a story with the Shield, which was continued in Top Notch Comics #5, by Will Harr and Edd Ashe. In that comic, the Shield met the wizard. Timely Comics would follow, with a team-up between Sub-Mariner and Human Torch. National Comics Publications took the team-up concept one step further and created the Justice Society of America, the first superhero group, composed by superheroes that starred their own comic books.[2]


The team-up was an important worldbuilding narrative device, that allowed to create the shared universe concept.[2]
