*Marvel: Although Tales Of Suspense #48 featured the debut of Mr Doll, it wasn’t the Poundland Puppet Master who was the unique selling point of this significant issue. Rather it was the debut of Iron Man’s red & gold armour, which (with variations on a theme) has been the consistent look of Tony Stark’s armoured alter-ego ever since, evolving from the original grey and then all-gold. To add to the joy, we get to see Steve Ditko’s and Dick Ayers’s unique artistic take on the character. A very decent cents copy here of this landmark issue, with some residual gloss and an unmarked cover with bright colours. Slight corner blunting and very minor handling wear. Staples are tight and firm, pages a supple white to off-white. Presents very well.
