There actually have been some pretty good Ant-man stories.
Probaably I'm the only one here who'd enjoy the initial Lee-Kirby-Ayers stories in TALES TO ASTONISH 27, and 35-69.
Roy Thomas and Neal Adams did some interesting things with him in the Kree/Skrull War storyline in AVENGERS 93-96.
Michelinie, Byrne and Layton did a great two part story in MARVEL PREMIERE 47-48 (
ridiculously priced now because of the movie appearance).
Plus a few more appearances in the Michelinie/Romita Jr/Bingham/Layton run in IRON MAN 131-133, and 151.
And another fun story in AVENGERS 223, by Michelinie, Larocque/Breeding. I especially liked a carnival ride called the "spin-n-heave".
There was also an
ANT-MAN CHRISTMAS SPECIAL one-shot with art by Phil Winslade that's very much worth reading too.
