Greetings True Believers!

Here are a couple of pages from a 1981 issue of The Invincible Iron Man.

I picked it up on a whim at C2E2 and I'm glad I did.

Enjoy Doom's cross-time learning annex and Tony's "fashion sense"!



As Iron Man, Tony stops some pirates from hijacking a ship filled with Starktech bound for Latveria. Tony is pissed, so pissed he forgot his gold medallion to go with is open shirt.



Meanwhile, Doom is increasing his knowledge of the mystic arts.





Turns out you were fighting a Doombot? Where was Victor? Hopping up and down the time-stream on a magical training-montage. Why, because that's how DOOM rolls!

Doom also knows how to encourage his minions/employees.



Later Tony travels to Latervia and he and Victor battle. That Hauptmann dude turns the time cube on and sending them both hurtling back in time. He smashes it and Tony and Doom end-up in Camelot. Victor doesn't manage to take over but he does get Morgan Le Fay's digits which he puts to good "use".

It's been a long time since I've read this (though it's nice to see back when someone wrote Tony as anything but a smug jerk)...who is the leader of Latveria at this time, if it's not Doom?

Then why does Tony think that Latveria has a better ruler than Doom at that time? If it was a Doombot, there's no difference.

Ah, I believe I've found it. Kristoff was introduced in 1982, so it wasn't him. Instead, since this was 1981, it was Zorba!

I swear, the Micheline/Layton days of Iron Man are my absolute favorite.

They were great--that's also the general time period of the original "Demon in a Bottle" story, Justin Hammer gaining control of Tony's armor to horrific effect (IM is posing with a foreign ambassador, with his hand on the man's back... and Hammer turns on his repulsor ray), and SHIELD trying to take over Stark Industries.
