American Update: Seconds In! Second appearances of Ant-Man, Iron Man and Thor
*Marvel: The second appearances of three iconic Marvel characters are the focus of this update: Journey Into Mystery #84 pits the newly-minted God of Thunder against the Executioner (not that Executioner, but obviously Stan & Co. liked the name so much they recycled it soon thereafter); Tales of Suspense #40 has the Armoured Avenger become the Golden Avenger for the very first time, blinging up his formerly leaden-grey armour and up against Gargantus (who?) and Tales to Astonish #35 features the return of Hank Pym (who in TTA #27 was merely a nerdy scientist) as the costumed adventurer Ant-Man for the very first time! All three of these classics are illustrated below; JIM #84 is VG cents £350, but with a possible very slight trim at the right edge – we are not conclusive on the issue; TOS #40 is an attractive VG+ cents copy at £335, with very minimal chipping at the cover edge; the first ‘proper’ Ant-Man in TTA #35, is a VG+ pence copy at £440. SORRY, TALES OF SUSPENSE #40 & JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY #84 HAVE NOW SOLD
