"The Coming of the Controller." 

Script: Archie Goodwin.

Art: George Tuska/Johnny Craig. 

After mopping up last month's LMD near-disaster, Tony, along with Janice Cord, heads to New England to track down Janice's lawyer, Vincent Sandhurst. There they meet the mysterious and powerful Controller! Old Crag-face's offbeat origin, creepy powers and the issue's cool cliffhanger make his first appearance a real doozy!

Appearances: Iron Man (Tony Stark), 1&O:Controller, Janice Cord, Tony Stark LMD, Jasper Sitwell, Vincent Sandhurst (revealed as Controller's brother)
