Tales of Suspense #70 (Marvel)
Stan Lee (w) Various (a)
From the fledgling days of Marvel comes this double feature issue of Tales of Suspense featuring Iron Man and captain America. I started reading Marvel comics around this time (and had the next issue featured below plus two of the Annuals advertised inside.
I have read the Iron Man story in full courtesy of a Fantastic annual from Power Comics but the colour version was interesting. Comics are far less wordy these days. No boxes of text at the top for starters.
The Captain America story was part of an on-going saga set in WWII with Nazi's running around in full regalia inside Britain. Same sort of thing happened in Captain Britain. Seems strange but all these super villain types managed similar so suspending disbelief it is.
My problem with these comics was that though I liked them I never had enough pocket money or sources in Dorking to always get these books which is the main reason I tended to stick with DC who generally did stories in one go. Continuing stories were always problematic.
A lot of people these days prefer trades to the floppies for similar reasons. Less hassle in getting the full story. Of course the problem now is these are quite expensive! However lower grade "reading copies" come along and add to the weekly pile!
