    Tony Stark's First Comic Appearance: Tales of Suspense #39

    Tony Stark's first comic appearance is Tales of Suspense #39, cover-dated March 1963. Iron Man debuts in the same story, so there is no separate Tony Stark first appearance book: one issue introduces both the man and the armour.

    Tales of Suspense #39 CGC: Iron Man's Debut and What Sets Its Price

    Tales of Suspense #39 (March 1963) is the first appearance of Iron Man, and its price depends mostly on the CGC or CBCS grade, then on page quality, label type and the date of the sale you compare against. No single price applies, so check recent sold prices for the exact grade.
