Ant-Man Helmet Donned By Scott Lang, On Auction At Heritage
Ant-Man and Scott Lang. Thanks to the MCU, that is who people think of as Ant-Man, more so than Hank Pym for sure. This makes some people mad, as, in my comic shop, I get people yelling about it all the time, how they should have just made Paul Rudd Hank Pym instead of Scott. That is not his acting style, though, and Scott was a way better choice. In any case, as far as comics are concerned, the issue where Scott Lang becomes the hero has been in demand for years now, and a really nice CGC 9.4 copy is taking bids at Heritage Auctions today. Currently, at $82 as of this writing, that is a great price for this key book. Take a look below.
