American Update: Mighty Marvel Firsts: Marvel Premiere #47 & #48 – ‘Scott Lang, Scott Lang, Does Whatever an Ant-Man Can!’
*Marvel: When the Ant-Man name was unclaimed in the late 1970s a brainier-than-average sneak-thief, Scott Lang, stole Hank Pym’s old apparatus and became the second bearer of that title! But it’s okay – he did bad things for good reasons, specifically to find a cure for his dying daughter, as was revealed in Marvel Premiere #47 and #48, the two-part tale which (after a cameo in Avengers #181) was Scott’s first full-length adventure. John Byrne and David Michelinie created this different take on the hero, and since then, Scott has had his ups and downs – been in jail a few times, been dead a few more, been a love-slave of the Purple Man – but he’s fought his way back to respectability, and has achieved cinematic stardom in two recent movie hits, plus a scheduled reappearance in ‘Avengers: Endgame’. This double-dip debut for our loveable scientist scofflaw consists of a VF- p #47 at £50, and the conclusion in #48 VF+ p will run you a mere £20.25. SORRY, #47 NOW SOLD
