Marvel Premiere #47 – 1st Scott Lang as Ant-Man – UK Price Variant – 8.0 VF

A major Bronze Age Marvel key, Marvel Premiere #47 from April 1979 features Scott Lang’s first appearance as Ant-Man in costume. It also includes the first appearances of Cassie Lang and Darren Cross.

Scott Lang himself first appeared shortly beforehand in Avengers #181, so the key significance here is specifically his first appearance and cover as Ant-Man. This copy is the British 12p price variant.
