American Update: Iron Man #1 – Shell-Head’s First Solo Issue
*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 was broken down, and they were allowed to expand their range of titles. New in this week, a lowishgraded copy of Iron Man’s first stunning solo issue, continuing from where his strip in Tales of Suspense left off, with Gene Colan’s hyperkinetic art driving the drama onward! A key item for collectors and investors alike, this is a pence copy, with moderate corner wear and a light middle crease, with a small ‘scuff’ in Iron Man’s, ahem, swimming-trunk area. Otherwise, a very sound and presentable GD- p at £75. Iron Man’s pivotal status in the Marvel Universe means that demand for this issue is only going to increase as the years go by, so this is a tempting relatively affordable key copy. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
