As many may know because I talk about it a lot my favorite era of comics in the 1960's Marvel. I just finished reading some comics from 1964. I was loving the Tales to Astonish Giant Man comics but in TTA 70 they dropped him in favor of Sub Mariner. I wanted to know if there was any reason for this.

I mean Antman was one of the first heroes for 60's Marvel, was a founding member of the Avengers. The other Avengers Ironman, Thor, Captain America and even though he was an Avenger for all of two minutes Hulk had his own series again. (Well he shared it in TTA) So why did Marvel drop one of their first heroes? Was he not very popular? Was the demand for Subby so great?

I like Giant Man more then Subby. But I have not read much Silver age and beyond Subs just golden age where he was a cop killing mass murder. I am going to give him a try in TTA maybe I will look better on him. But over all I am not happy with the change.

So why did they do it?

Thanks for the help.
