Does anyone know if it's reprinted anywhere?

Not reprinted yet.

Cool. I was in grade school and that was my very first introduction to the character. Had no idea who Ant-Man was, much less that Yellow Jacket guy who showed up at the very end. Ah, to be an innocent youth again, when everything was fresh and brand-new.

There's a Scott Lang collection coming out that reprints those issues.

Those issues of Marvel Premiere were recently featured on the Diversions Of The Groovy Kind blog website. If you haven't read them (like I hadn't at the time) then here's your chance! Hopefully the link will work.
Sorry. Having trouble with the link. Here's the address so you can copy and paste.
www.diversionsofthegroovykind.blogspot.ca/search/label/ant-m an
I've been trying to edit this post to remove the space between the m and a at the end of the address but something is not acknowledging my edit fix. When you paste this address just remove the space before hitting enter.

I'm not absolutely certain, but I think the first part was reprinted as one of the comics you got with a Marvel Legends action figure. I am thinking, naturally, that the comic came with the Ant-Man figure. :-)

You're correct Matt
Bummed me out it wasn't the other part of the story as I had that one random issue in my collection all these years and had never read the other part.

The first of the two issues appeared in an episode of The Ropers, but the title was changed to "Shark-Man" onscreen.

I remember the kid sitting on the curb reading it, too.

I wonder what the whole Shark-Man thing was about.

I don't think there was much to it. They writers wanted the kid to be reading a comic, as many kids still did regularly in the 1970s', and they used "Shark Man" because "Ant-Man" was trademarked. It was easier, I assume, to just slap a sticker with another name over the original title than to print up a completely fake comic book.
