Iron Man vs Captain America in Tales of Suspense #58, Up for Auction
Tales of Suspense #58 is full of noteworthy characters. It's the second appearance of Kraven the Hunter, for example. But Kraven (who is easily defeated by Iron Man in this industry, by the way) is not the villain of this tale. The centerpiece of this story is of course something that has become a staple of superhero comics in the decades since: superhero meets superhero, they have a misunderstanding and end up fighting. While not the first comic book story of this type, Tales of Suspense #58 contains a classic tale of two superheroes who have famously fought several times since: Iron Man and Captain America.
