*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! A key item for collectors and investors alike, this is a pence copy, with unfaded deep purple cover background, moderate wear at spine and edges, and a few diagonal creases towards the lower right cover corner, well away from the ‘manspreading’ central figure! Iron Man’s pivotal status in the Marvel Universe, both Comic and Cinematic, means that demand for this issue is only going to increase as the years go by. #1 GD/VG p £120. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
