American Update: Iron Man #1 – Shell-Head’s First Solo Flight
*Marvel: After a long run as the co-star of Tales of Suspense, Iron Man was given his own title in 1968, when the ‘Berlin Wall’ of Marvel’s distribution came down, and they were allowed to expand their range of titles. New in this week, a copy of Iron Man’s first solo issue, with Gene Colan’s hyperkinetic art driving the drama onward! This is a FA p copy, with notable wear at edges and corners, but the predominant drawback is light ink staining at the top cover, which has penetrated to the inside front cover, though mercifully not to the interior pages. Other than that, it would be a sound mid-grade copy, and given Iron Man’s pivotal status in the Marvel Universe, both Comic and Cinematic, this becomes a very affordable key issue. FA p £50. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
