A page from the Iron Man story in TALES OF SUSPENSE #45 by Don Heck featuring the first appearance of Pepper Potts.
Little-known fact: Heck based Potts’ appearance on that of a young Ann B Davis, best remembered for her later role on the Brady Bunch. So Gwyneth Paltrow has been playing Alice all these years.
A page from the Iron Man story in TALES OF SUSPENSE #53 by Don Heck, featuring the Black Widow. She’s changed a lot from these early days.
