Tales to Astonish #35 - Jack Kirby art & cover, Steve Ditko art + 1st Antman

Jack Kirby

Tales to Astonish v1 #35, 1962 - Following his first appearance, scientist Hank Pym uses his shrinking serum on himself to save his colleagues from Russian spies. Donning a costume and newly invented cybernetic helmet, this is his first appearance as Ant-man. Jack Kirby's story art is typically well drawn and organized, though his cover takes distortion a bit too far. In Steve Ditko's brief tale, an escaped convict finds a door to another dimension. The pages seem minimal, but add to the story's unsettling tone. Other artists in this silver age issue include Don Heck.
