Origin & 1st app of Iron Man (Tony Stark); Jack Kirby cover; Steve Ditko art; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 10 (CBI)Tony Stark makes his first appearance in this classic collectible from 1963, in which the playboy munitions tycoon is wounded and taken captive while helping the U.S. government fight the Vietcong—before escaping by constructing an armored battle suit. (The outfit also slows the approach of some shrapnel inching toward Stark's heart.) Iron Man would go on to launch the start of Marvel Studios in 2008, with Robert Downey Jr.'s popular portrayal keeping fans speculating that the character might return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Iron Man appears for the first time in Tales of Suspense #39 from March 1963. This copy earned a 6.0 Universal Grade from CGC with off-white pages. The classic Jack Kirby/Don Heck cover looks impressive, showing off Iron Man's original gray armor. Any minor signs of wear on this cover do not detract from the historic significance of this key. Iron Man has appeared in countless comics, cartoons, and video games since his inception, as well as becoming the cornerstone of the MCU, portrayed by international superstar Robert Downey Jr. in dozens of movies, many of which are in the highest grossing of all time. Tony Stark has rightfully earned his spot as one of the most beloved characters in comicdom, and it all starts here in TOS #39.
Overstreet Guide 2022 FN (6.0) value = $11,200.
