The Tales to Astonish #35 in context
Why collectors care
The first appearance of Ant-Man in costume, cover-dated September 1962. Hank Pym had appeared eight issues earlier as an ordinary scientist; this is where he becomes a superhero, in a thirteen-page three-chapter story, and where the Marvel Ant-Man actually begins.
How to identify it
Tales to Astonish #35, September 1962. The companion book, Tales to Astonish #27 (January 1962), is Pym's first appearance but has no costume, and it is also in this catalog.
Common mistakes
The #27 versus #35 split is the central question on this character, and both books are sold as "1st Ant-Man." Decide whether you want the character's debut (#27) or the costumed hero (#35) and confirm which the listing holds.
Grade considerations
An early-60s anthology with limited high-grade survival. Cover gloss and spine ticks are the usual limiters.

Recorded sales by grade · how this summary is built+
Newest recorded sale: 2026-07-25. This summary describes stored history.
Inclusion
All 1 recorded eBay sold (completed) listings in this historical sample, grouped by grader and grade. Asking prices and active listings are never counted.
Outlier handling
Within any grade that has four or more sales, a price below one-third of, or above three times, the within-grade median is set aside before the median is taken. No sales were set aside on this rule for this item.
A comic sale that sold for under a third of the median of this issue's lower-grade sales is also set aside as a probable reprint, facsimile, later printing or restored copy, since a higher grade of the same book should not sell for less. No sales were set aside on this rule for this item.
| Grade | Sales | Included | Set aside |
|---|---|---|---|
| CGC 3.5 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
Shipping and fees
