lol Your #36 definitely looks nicer than mine. That is an old label 7.5, right?

They aren't "key" issues really, but they are very early Ant-Man appearances.

I picked this up a little while ago from Number6 and just recently processed it for the collection. Matt bought the book from Bob Storms's HighGradeComics as an 8.5. It's a very good example of such. (thumbs u

I sold my childhood collection of comics back in the late 1970s and it's nice to reacquire an issue of a book once owned so long ago. :whee:

 

It has quite the moody Kirby/Colletta* cover -- undoubtedly the colouring work of Stan Goldberg.

 

The use of pink is quite striking outside of skin colour -- a hue usually reserved for Marvel's teen titles. The Modeling with Millie below is good example.

*The GCD credits Ayers with the TTA cover inks but it's Colletta. :sumo:
