Marvel Masterworks: the Invincible Iron Man Vol. 13


Book Description

Many have lent their talents to THE INVINCIBLE IRON MAN, but few - if any - have had a greater impact than the creative trio of David Michelinie, Bob Layton and John Romita Jr.! They remade IRON MAN with new co-stars - including Jim Rhodes, the future War Machine - and new armours, but more important than anything else, a new and character-defining take on the man inside the armour. Their Tony Stark is a hero not because of the extent of his technological wizardry, but because of his perseverance in the face of his own personal failings. This beautifully restored Marvel Masterworks edition presents the beginning of the reinvention of a Marvel icon, culminating in the classic 'Demon in a Bottle'!
