2nd app of Ant-Man in costume; 1st app. Madame X (as Comrade X); Jack Kirby cover/art; Steve Ditko art; Dick Ayers inks.


Dr. Henry Pym made his first appearance in Tales to Astonish #27, but that was when he was simply a scientist who'd shrunk himself down to dangerous ant territory. He finally made a comeback in costume as Ant-Man in Tales to Astonish #35. This classic issue then established Ant-Man as a proper part of the Marvel Universe. In fact, the Russians are already aware that there's a new superhero on the block. This would lead to Ant-Man meeting the threat of superspy Comrade X. Thanks to the enduring success of Marvel's mini-hero, the villain would even return 26 years later to torment Pym again!
