The Birth of Iron Man

Anthony “Tony” Stark demonstrates a breakthrough in a carefully guarded lab to US military defense authorities. Tony Stark invented micro-transistors, which allow him to lift and transform objects into lethal weapons. Stark dazzles the ladies with his swashbuckling appearance, sizeable personal fortune, and military command with his latest advancements.

Why is it so uncommon?

It’s challenging to find an authentically signed copy of both brothers’ Tales of Suspense 39 comic book, and Larry rarely attends signing events.

So this comic book is considered one of the most valuable comic books of all time, and it can now gain higher value in the market.
