Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko art; 1st app of the Ant-Man (Henry Pym) COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 9 (CBI)Heavily drawing upon the monster movies of the 1950s, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby brought Ant-Man into the Marvel Universe, with superhero scientist Henry Pym debuting in Tales to Astonish #27. This story even plays more like the sci-fi classic The Incredible Shrinking Man. Ant-Man wouldn’t acquire his iconic costume or proper origin until issue #35, but readers loved him all the same. This book has always been a favorite among collectors, but has recently seen an explosion in demand and value--due largely to Paul Rudd's work as Ant-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Artist Information
Jack Kirby is called 'The King of Comics' for a reason, during his career that spanned six decades he gave us many of the most iconic characters the medium would ever see. From his introduction of Captain America at the height of World War II it was clear he wasn't your ordinary comics artist. But it was his creative explosion at Marvel Comics in the 1960's that cemented his legacy, over a short period of time Kirby would give us The Fantastic Four, Iron Man, The Hulk, The X-Men, Thor, Ant-Man and Nick Fury just to name a few. Kirby would then go to DC and create his Fourth World, introducing Darkseid, Mister Miracle, The New Gods and a host of cosmic supporting players. Long live The King.
