Disclose Notes: A 'new' splash page is a paste up of panel 7 of page 6; Jack Frost (detail from the original splash page); panels 5 & 6 of page 10; Some Iron Man stories which appeared in Fantastic were reprinted in a different order to the original published sequence. This created a problem for the editors, because Tony Stark changed his armor in Tales of Suspense #48 to the familiar red and gold version. In order to avoid confusion for British readers, Iron Man's armor was redrawn in Fantastic #15-20 to resemble the newer model.
