I can only speak authoritatively to your second question, as I own it, but that one only contains the Captain America stories. I would assume the other one follows suit and only reprints the IM portions of those issues.

Tales of Suspense was a sci-fi/horror book before Iron Man debuted and while Iron Man became the lead, the short done and one horror & sci-fi stories rounded out the book until Cap became the second feature. #39 for example had the 13 page Iron Man lead then sci-fi (not super-hero stories by Colan and Ditko. The Marvel Milestone edition of #39 reprints the whole comic, but the Masterworks only reprint the Iron Man material. If you haven't discovered it yet, sites like the Grand Comic Book Database (GCD) and Mike's Amazing World of Comics are great for finding out the complete contents of those kind of books. There are links to both on the main/home page for this site, and here is a link for the GCD for TOS 39 and you can navigate through the rest of the series form there. GCD will also tell you where stories have been reprint or where reprints are from in many cases. -M |

I have both of those MMW volumes and they only reprint those stories featuring the relevant character from the TOS issues they cover, so Iron Man stories in the Iron Man MMW volume and Cpt America in the Cpt America MMW volume...

Iron Man was the only regular feature in Tales of Suspense from #39 to #48. Then a series called "Tales of the Watcher" appeared in the back starting with #49. Most of the Tales of the Watcher featured the Watcher narrating stories with twist endings like the horror/fantasy/monster stories that had been appearing in tales of Suspense from the beginning. Some of the stories were actually about things that happened to the Watcher.
The last tale of the Watcher appeared in TOS #58. That's the issue where Captain America guest-stars in the Iron Man story. As of #59, Captain America was added to the line-up and there were no more of those 5-page horror/fantasy/monster stories.

I remember Tales of the Watcher! They were reprinted as back-ups in Marvel UK's Star Wars Weekly. |

Along with reprinting old "Tales of the Watcher" strips from Tales of Suspense, Marvel UK also made their own for Star Wars Weekly. They would take an old, pre-Fantastic Four, moral heavy, sci-fi tale and frame it with a newly drawn Watcher cameo and, hey presto, a new Tale of the Watcher. |

They did the same thing in Doctor Who Weekly, substituting Tom Baker for Uatu. Doctor Who's Time Tales. |

Although I had no idea (or interest) in who Steve Ditko was back when I was buying Star Wars Weekly, my very first exposure to his artwork were the re-tooled late '50s sci-fi tales that were re-published as Tales of the Watcher. I always really enjoyed reading those, not realising that the stories were actually at least 20 years old at the time. |
