Item Description

It may have taken him over 8 years to get his own title after first appearing in TALES OF SUSPENSE #39 in 1963, but IRON MAN did it with style and flair in May of 1968 with his starring role in THE INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #1!

Crafted by Stan Lee and artist Gene Colan, "ALONE AGAINST A.I.M.! (Or, What a Way to Start Out in Your Own Mag!)" tells the tale of IRON MAN going up against the evil 'Advanced Idea Mechanics' cabal. He is taken prisoner in their secret base and has to battle three OTHER Iron Men when they replicate his armor. Things crescendo until . . . BOOM! Is A.I.M. destroyed??

There is also a great 3-page recounting of IRON MAN's origin that first appeared in the aforementioned TALES OF SUSPENSE #39, with art by Johnny Craig and Gene Colan!

This is a really good-looking copy of this 53-year old comic, with a strong binding, supple pages, and minimal toning. No tears, abrasions, or ragged edges, but you can tell this copy has been around for a while! It all adds up to a conservative grade of 8.0 VF, for which Overstreet suggests a price of $760.00. We're going to offer this Silver Age IRON MAN for just $730 . . and we'll throw in FREE shipping too!

Don't be SHELLhead-Shocked by all the high prices elsewhere! Here's an affordable key Marvel issue, in a deal that's INVINCIBLE!
