American Update: Marvel Premiere inc. 1st Scott Lang Ant-Man
*Marvel: From the sizzlin’ Seventies, restocks of Marvel Premiere, the series which brought new concepts before the public, or gave lesser characters a chance at their “solo in the spotlight” moments. From #22 to #60, including showcases for folks who became pillars of the Marvel Universe (Iron Fist, Hercules, Black Panther, the Liberty Legion) and others who evaporated like a politician’s promises (anyone for Woodgod? Caleb Hammer? Seeker 3000? No?). This includes two unexpected media cross-overs, with rock star Alice Cooper making his first comics appearance in issue #50, and UK sci-fi phenomenon Doctor Who being imported into #’s 57-60. Highlight of this top-up is probably the two-part debut of Scott Lang as Ant-Man, in #47 & #48.
