Not Two in One as in the title of a certain Marvel character's book, but two on one--any cover featuring two characters facing, confronting, teasing, ganging up on some hapless hero, villain, significant other, soldier, monster...anyone!
To start it off, we have poor Nick Fury, only moments away from being blown apart at the hands of his darn-near gleeful enemies, Mentallo & The Fixer, from the cover of...
Strange Tales #143 (April, 1966). Pencils by Jack Kirby, inks by Mike Esposito (as "Mickey Demeo").
