Thanks for sharing these absolute GEMS, Steve! Almost all of these are from my earliest days as a comics fan. Marvel was just transitioning out of its’ campier early 60s era and into more serious fare with the Robert E. Howard adaptations and monster/horror characters like Morbius. At the same time, I started to discover comic shops carrying back-issues and came across classics like that TALES TO ASTONISH Ant-Man story. How could one NOT be astonished at Egghead’s cunning plan to ambush his insect-sized archenemy by suddenly unleashing a ravenous ANTEATER?!?
Cheers, Curtis! If I had to pick my two favourites/favorites :) I’d go with the Spider-Man vs The Vulture, and that amazing Ditko Spidey pose, and the Kirby Daredevil cover. These take me straight back to my childhood and the thrill of experiencing Marvel comics for the first time. So evocative! I’ll post some more another time.
