Iron Man celebrates 100 issues in this epic Epic Collection!

It’s time for an upgrade! Iron Man levels up his armor as his title gains a powerful new writer: Bill Mantlo. Mantlo’s run delved into Tony Stark’s supporting cast, added a dose of industrial intrigue and brought back iconic adversaries. It begins with accusations of Stark Industries bribing U.S. senators, gets dangerous with the return of Ultimo and reaches fever pitch when an all-new Guardsman comes calling! Next, in the lead-up to issue #100, Sunfire pits heat against iron in the prelude to the Mandarin’s return — and then the mysterious Madame Masque and the Jack of Hearts enter the fray. And we wrap up with an out-of-this-world battle for Wundagore and a Jack of Hearts solo adventure!

Collecting Iron Man (1968) #92-114 and Annual (1970) #4 and Marvel Premiere #44.

*If you're like me, you read the credits above and thought, "Wait-a-minute, Stern didn't write any Iron Man stories in the '70s!" And you'd be correct. At first, I thought it must be a mistake. I'd just started editing IM with issue #113. And then, I realized, "Oh, yeah ... the Midnight story in the back of that Annual." I think that it might have been the first story I wrote at Marvel, though others appeared first. Please be kind. I got better.
