Set Description
This set is made up of the comics that chart the significant events in the career of Hank Pym in his many alter-egos from his first appearance in Tales To Astonish #27 to his fall from grace in Avengers #213.

He finds redemption when he joins the West Coast Avengers as the caretaker of their compound rather than as a superhero.

Set Goals
To me, the set is complete as it covers the period that wanted it to.
