Owner's Description
Both Marvel and DC managed to work Ancient Egypt into their Super-Hero sagas. In the 6th appearance of Iron Man in TOS, he encounters the Mad Pharoah. The story is kind of all over the place, Iron Man travels to Egypt to assist in an archaeological dig where they find the mummy of the Mad Pharoah, who turns out to still be alive. The Mad Pharoah blackmails Tony and travel back with the Chariot of Time to ancient Egypt where Iron Man kills the Mad Pharoah, defeats the Romans and romances Cleopatra, who asks him to rule with here. But not even Cleopatra can convince Tony Stark to settle down LOL.
Our 9.8 is probably the fourth copy of this book we have owned, going from a 9.0 to a 9.4, to a 9.6 and finally to this book, which is one of two highest graded. We acquired the book in a ComicConnect auction on 12/21/2018.
Our run between #40-44 is really special and one of the highlights of our entire collection. All five books are highest graded, and 4 of the five are 1/2 highest graded with the fifth a WP pedigree 1/3.
