(I originally read these comics in April 2015)
And so conclude Ant-Man's adventures in the pages of 'Tales to Astonish.' After issue # 70, he and his flighty partner the Wasp were evicted in favour of the Sub-Mariner. The Hulk had already assumed co-headlining status as of issue 60 and would remain for the rest of the comic's run, after which it was continued, numbering intact, under his own name.
Hank Pym wears a new costume as of issue 65, but it's too little, too late. On the art front, Dick Ayers is now more or less sole penciler and that's a shame as I was enjoying Don Heck's work.
In the event I revisit these comics in the future, I will provide a more detailed write-up.
