In superherocomic 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]
The Shield and the Wizard met in Top Notch Comics #5. It was the first team-up between superheroes.
The first team-up between characters published in different comics from the same publisher was published in 1940 by the 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 of superheroes who starred their own comic books.[2] In international comics, the Phantom teamed up with Zigomar in 1939.[3]
The team-up was an important worldbuilding narrative device, one that allowed for the creation of a shared universe concept.[2]
