Origin and First Appearance of Iron Man
Lowest price $2,900
Average price $7,000
Record price $840,000
One of the Marvel mega-keys from the Silver Age that will always be in demand. Tony Stark's creation of Iron Man has become a pillar of the MCU.
Founder member of the Avengers and standalone hero in his own right.
Rather like the Hulk, Iron Man comic books debuted with his armor being gray. Over several issues, it would change...
Tales of Suspense #40
2nd Iron Man, 1st gold armor
Lowest price $150
Average price $600
Record price $35,000
One issue later, rather like the Hulk turning green, Iron Man became gold!

Love interest Pepper Potts (played in the MCU by Gwyneth Paltroe) appears for the first time in this issue. Also Happy Hogan, who you may recall from cameos in various MCU properties.

Tales of Suspense #52
1st Black Widow
