Description

Who? or what, is the newest, most breath-taking, most sensational super-hero of all...? That was the question that readers were asked when they plunked down their dimes and bought this issue featuring the first-ever appearance and origin of Iron Man. One of the more popular Marvel keys and eye-catching Kirby covers, this book came out the same month as Amazing Spider-Man No. 1 and is an absolute classic. The copy offered here is a solid Near Mint Minus, with perfect registration, a sparkling spine, radiant cover inks and incredibly sharp and straight edges. Plus, the pages are a ridiculous off-white to white. Features the origin and introduction of Iron Man by Stan Lee and Larry Leiber with art chores ably handles by Don Heck, Gene Colan and Steve Ditko. The cover was drawn by Jack Kirby and Mr. Heck. This is the nicest copy we have seen in over 5 years and was just recently graded by the experts at the CGC. This is the first 9.2 made available at auction in almost a year! How hot is this book? An 8.5 copy sold for $120,000 at auction in November, 2021! Do not regret losing out on this incredible strictly graded NM- (or you'll be sorry).
