*Marvel: A consecutive selection of Iron Man’s earliest appearances graces our stock this week! From Shell-Head’s second issue, #40, through to #56, incorporating along the way the debuts of several of his most relentless enemies – Jack Frost, the Crimson Dynamo, the Melter, the Mandarin, the Scarecrow, the Unicorn, and a devastating dame to kill (or die) for, the Black Widow! We also have not one, but two ‘new looks’ – the first makeover in #40, where Iron man’s gray-metal look is changed to golden, and the second in #48, where Shell-Head changes his combat gear to the familiar red & gold which, with minor variations, he’s retained ever since. This run tends towards the low-mid grade and more affordable end. Conditions from FA/GD to GD/VG, with the odd ‘spike’ on either side of that. Illustrated are #40 FA/GD p £115, #41 GD- p £85, #44 GD/VG p £60, #45 GD £55, #48 GD £50, #49 GD+ £80 and #50 VG+ £90; for information on the other issues, please see our online catalogue.
