Gene Colan cover & art; origin retold (cont. from Iron Man and Sub-Mariner #1)
Iron Man #1 represents Stan Lee's stellar success after taking on the creation of Iron Man as a creative challenge, seeking to invent a hero that embodied all the things that his youthful readership rebelled against. Thus was born Tony Stark, a shamelessly capitalist businessman whose fortune was built on war machinery and weaponry. This first solo issue of Iron Man was an overnight smash, and with a cover graced with the visionary art of master draftsman Gene Colan, it is no wonder.
Iron Man has his hands full with this first issue, as well. (The story picks up from the one-shot Iron Man and Sub-Mariner #1.) There's a revisited origin, but Tony Stark is also taking on three more Iron Men cooked up by a terrorist think tank in "Alone Against A.I.M.!" That includes the big reveal that distressed socialist Whitney Frost is secretly the "Big M" leading the Maggia crime family. The incredible success of the MCU finally made Iron Man a top-tier character, but longtime comic fans have always known that this is one of Marvel's most complex and fascinating heroes.

This 9.6 Iron Man #1 is an outstanding showcase for Gene Colan's classic cover, carefully preserving all the rich darks and careful shadings that kept this comic flying off the newsstands in 1968. The book also boasts a spine that looks positively steely as it supports a cover that's impressively intact. It's easy to get lost in the depth of this classic comic that's set to remain a top collectible alongside the revived Marvel Cinematic Universe!
