Tales to Astonish #45 (Marvel, July 1963)
Cover by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers. Classic early Ant-Man and Wasp adventure in “The Terrible Traps of Egghead!” — Egghead returns with a new gang and a scheme to capture the Wasp, forcing Ant-Man into a deadly confrontation. Backup features include “Bronson’s Brain!” by Steve Ditko and “It Walks Like a Man!” by Paul Reinman, alongside a Stan Lee text story “The Future.” A prime Silver Age Marvel issue, mixing superheroics with classic sci-fi anthology elements.
MAJ. PICTO’S GRADING NOTES: F (6.0) – moderate cover wear, some light creasing and edge stress, but strong colors, clean interior, and fully attached staples. Solid mid-grade example with excellent readability.
