Marvel Comics · Tales of Suspense #40 · April 1963 · 12¢ · 23 pages
Grade: VG+ 4.5
“The Iron Man Versus Gargantus” (13 pages) — Iron Man's second outing pits Tony Stark against a massive alien robot threatening a small island community. Stark dons his bulky gray armor again to battle the towering mechanical menace in what amounts to a giant robot showdown with early Marvel flavor.
Supporting stories continue the anthology format with monster and sci-fi tales typical of the transitional period before Tales of Suspense became Iron Man's dedicated title.
The crucial second appearance that proved Iron Man had legs beyond his debut, bridging the gap between his introduction in #39 and his eventual takeover of the entire book.
Condition VG+ 4.5 with minor wear consistent with grade, complete interior, structurally sound, and unrestored.
We use what the scientists are calling artificial intelligence to research and write our descriptions — it gives us more time to add books to our website and provide you with a wider array of inventory. We think Klaatu would approve. Details are verified but the robot does slip up. We're not infallible. Every book is graded by a human collector who has actually held it. If anything ever looks off, reach on out at robopictocomics@gmail.com.
