*Marvel: A long-standing favourite of us 30th Century folks, we are delighted to have Tales to Astonish #44, the debut and origin of Janet Van Dyne, the wonderful Wasp, back in stock. Created in order to give Ant-Man someone to talk to on his adventures (other than the ants), Jan perked up the series no end. Founding member of the Avengers, wealthy socialite Jan was a breath of fresh air in the comics world, and her relationship with Hank (Ant-Man/Giant-Man) Pym was well portrayed as mature and caring, with a nice line in witty badinage, contrasting considerably with the rest of the romantically overwrought Marvel Universe. This copy of Jan’s debut is VG, a clean solid copy with considerable eye appeal, but a faint vertical fold slightly impinging upon the cover image. Firm at staples, with bright attractive interior pages.
