*Marvel: We lead off this week’s selections from the Good Doctor Collection with the fifth title we’ve covered thus far; it’s the debut issue of Iron Man’s own series. After a long run as the co-star of Tales of Suspense, Iron Man was given his own title in 1968, when the ‘Berlin Wall’ of Marvel’s distribution came down, and they were allowed to expand their range of titles. New in this week, a copy of Iron Man’s first solo issue, with Gene Colan’s hyperkinetic art driving the drama onward as Shell-Head comes up against the forces of A.I.M.; plus there’s a brief re-telling of Iron Man’s origin. The Good Doctor copy is mid-grade, pence stamped, with a rich colour cover, firm staples at spine and centrefold and nice cream to off-white pages. Around the cover edges, there is some thin, spidery creasing which breaks colour (in a very minor way) and there is some corner blunting, but overall this solid copy presents very well.
