American Update: Mighty Marvel Firsts: Debut of Mandarin in Tales Of Suspense #50
*Marvel: Perhaps the greatest of Iron Man’s many enemies is the Mandarin, a master of science, martial arts, and controller of an international network of operatives, whose ruthlessness is outmatched only by his ingenuity. And he’s got the bling, too! Famously, each of Mandy’s digits carries a ring (“More than Zsa Zsa Gabor”, as Ben Grimm once remarked) with its own unique powers, at their master’s deadly disposal. The definitive Iron Man arch-foe. This copy of the Mandarin’s first appearance is a lowish grade pence printed copy, with much spine and edge wear, but a largely unspoilt cover image, tight staples and decent page quality.
