American Update: Ant-Man/Giant-Man and the Wasp – Tales to Astonish’s Finest!
*Marvel: While fellow Tales to Astonish alumni Hulk and the Sub-Mariner both have their aficionados, here at 30th Century we have to admit to a soft spot for the adventures of Hank & Jan – Ant-Man/Giant-Man and the Wonderful Wasp! Their burgeoning relationship was one of the more credible in the early Marvel Universe (seriously, did you ever believe Reed Richards ever had a passion for anything but science?) and their squabbles and struggles towards romance were easily as much fun as their battles against the super-villain of the month. We’re delighted to have a selection of significant TTA issues, commencing with #38 – a pre-Wasp Ant-Man story with the debut of his nemesis, Egghead. Egghead returns in #45, with the Wasp now at Ant-Man’s side, and in #49, Hank becomes Giant-Man for the very first time, as he and Jan battle the sinister Eraser! Issues #50 and #51, are the two-part premier appearance of the Human Top (later Hurricane), and in issue #60, the Hulk’s own series debuts in TTA – eventually to push our size-shifting couple out of the comic altogether, boo hiss. Pictured are #38 VG+ p £72, #49 FN- p £80 and #51 VF- p £68. For details on the others, check out our catalogue listings.
