of Suspense #71 -- "What Price Victory?" Script:
Stan Lee. Art: Don Heck/Wally Wood.
The
pulse-pounding conclusion to Iron Man's
first battle with the Titanium Man.
Of course he wins, but at the cost of the respect and affection of Pepper
Potts!
-Tales of
Suspense #79 -- "Disaster!" Script:
Stan Lee. Art: Gene Colan/Jack Abel.
With the sophistication of a high school sophomore, Atlantean Warlord Krang
attacks the surface world. A weakened Iron
Man retreats from the scene only to be
confronted by the old imperious rex himself, Namor
the Sub-Mariner!
-Tales of
Suspense #80 -- "When Fall the Mighty!" Script:
Stan Lee. Art: Gene Colan/Gary Michaels.
In the set-up for the first of many poorly motivated fights between Subby
and Shellhead
over the years, these two almost go at it! Stay tuned!
-Tales to
Astonish #82 -- "The Power of Iron Man!" Script:
Stan Lee/Roy Thomas. Art: Gene Colan, Jack Kirby/Dick Ayers.
In
one of Marvel's first cross-over stories, the fun, action-packed slugfest
between Iron Man
and the Sub-Mariner
ends with the inevitable conflictus interuptus.
Overall, this
collection of reprints contains some top-notch Silver Age
art coupled with some
typical Silver Age plotless shenanigans.
xkot's Recommendation:  
repulsors!
