Always liked Hank Pym. i came to know him in Avengers #225-230, abouts. This was after he was in jail, busted out by Egghead [great Villain!] and the Masters of Evil, made to work in Egghead's lab due to being considered a felon/disgraced hero. He works secretly to create a way to defeat all the Villains, which he does right under Egghead's nose! After, when the Avengers realize that he was innocent, they invite him back as Yellowjacket, but Hank says no, as he realizes that he needs to get himself together. i know that some others really dislike Hank Pym, but in this storyline, he displays great heroism and self understanding. Classic characterization, great story telling, good stuff.

In all seriousness, Ant-Man's origin ends up being interesting because of this switch from #27 to #35. The first story is a Science Horror story: they laughed at me at the Academy and all of that. Having Hank then find the need to return to his fearful invention is kind of neat.

I don't know: I've grown much more fond of Dr. Pym the last year or so since he became my daughter's favourite.

Yeah, pointing a gun at the ground to try to shoot something the size of an ant is NOT a good idea.
Kids don't try this at home....

And here I thought DC had the market cornered on silliest comic covers from the 1960s...and yet, I somehow find myself liking it.

One of my all time favorite comics. I was glad to have the King sign this beauty before his passing.

nonono, 27 will obviously be Animal Man #27, the first one of Milligan after that overrated Morrison guy, in which Buddy "takes a leak" on the sidewalk AND chomps on a horse
PURE GENIUS!

Well, I'm sure one other would agree, anyway. There's something about that number, 27, flying out of nowhere like that. That's it! It's an omen. I shall become . . . a Number 27.

Graeme, Brian, #27 is kind of obvious; I think others would agree the debut of Epoch in Quasar #27, would be "the most famous character introduced in the twenty-seventh issue of a comic book." No??

Hank Pym made his debut in Tales to Astonish #27, making him the most famous character introduced in the twenty-seventh issue of a comic book

What about Marvel Premiere #35, featuring the stunning debut of 3-D Man? Or Per Degaton's debut in All-Star Comics #35? I'm telling you, these are gold!
