Notes2nd story: "Not What They Seem!" Black Knight II (Nathan Garrett) debuts in this issue. His ancestor Sir Percy of Scandia was the first Black Knight and debuted in Black Knight #1. The Black Knight is one of the few significant super-powered villains to appear in this title as an adversary to Henry Pym. Unfortunately, the Knight never appears in Tales to Astonish again. He makes several appearances in Avengers and is ultimately killed in battle with Iron Man in Tales of Suspense #74.
