(Dec., 1975) "War
of the Mind Dragons!" Cover
art (guess): Joe
Sinnott. Script:
Mike Friedrich. Art: Chic Stone/Vinnie Colletta. In
Friedrich's swan song, Iron Man
finds himself in the middle of an attempted coup in the Black
Lama's (revealed last issue as "King
Jerald of the Kingdom of Grand Rapids") dimension. While Shellhead
fights dimensional-imbalance madness as he struggles to return himself and Firebrand
to their home dimension, the readers fight a different mad-ness at what must be
the most lengthy, colossally lame and disappointing shaggy dog story in Marvel's
history. This battle of the super-villains had incredible potential, and all we
got was an alternate Nelson Rockefeller trying to oust Gerald Ford. This story
and a "Whip Inflation Now!" button will get you....
repulsor!
