Iron Man increases his armor’s power as his title gains a powerful new writer: Bill Mantlo. Mantlo’s run delved into Tony Stark’s supporting cast, added a dose of industrial intrigue and brought back iconic adversaries. It begins with accusations of Stark Industries bribing U.S. senators, gets dangerous with the return of Ultimo and reaches fever pitch when an all-new Guardsman comes calling. Next, in the lead-up to issue #100, Sunfire pits heat against iron in the prelude to the return of the Mandarin. Then, the mysterious Madame Masque and the Jack of Hearts enter the fray. And we wrap up with an out-of-this-world battle for Wundagore and a Jack of Hearts solo adventure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCOLLECTING: THE INVINCIBLE IRON MAN (1968) #92-114 \u0026amp; ANNUAL (1971) #4 and MARVEL PREMIERE (1972) #44\u003cb\u003eBill   Mantlo\u003c\/b\u003e began his Marvel career on Deadly Hands of Kung Fu, in which he   introduced White Tiger, one of the industry’s earliest Hispanic super heroes.   Eventually writing stories for almost every Marvel title, he did some of his   most fondly remembered work on Incredible Hulk and Spectacular Spider-Man. He also launched Cloak and Dagger in a pair of miniseries and guided Alpha   Flight through some of its most harrowing ordeals.   Mantlo excelled at integrating licensed properties into the Marvel Universe,   as demonstrated by Micronauts and Rom: Spaceknight, both of which he wrote from start to finish. At DC, he wrote   the Invasion miniseries   for one of the company’s biggest crossover events.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGerry   Conway\u003c\/b\u003e wrote Daredevil, Incredible Hulk, Iron Man   and others. He was instrumental in Marvel’s 1970s horror boom with work on Man-Thing, Tomb   of Dracula and Werewolf   by Night. His years on Amazing   Spider-Man yielded such historic highlights as the   groundbreaking death of Gwen Stacy and the debut of the Punisher. He also   wrote DC’s Batman, Superman, Wonder   Woman and Legion of   Super-Heroes. For TV, he has written and produced   episodes of Diagnosis: Murder, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Huntress   and Matlock.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeginning   as Stan Lee’s production assistant, \u003cb\u003eHerb Trimpe\u003c\/b\u003e (1939-2015) went on to pencil a seven-year run on Marvel   mainstay Incredible Hulk   — during which he debuted the future X-Man, Wolverine — as well as 1970s   classics Marvel Team-Up,   Shogun Warriors and Godzilla. He was equally prolific   during the 1980s on Nick Fury, The ’Nam   and G.I. Joe; the 1990s   saw him illustrate Marvel’s First Family on Fantastic   Four Unlimited. Trimpe’s war-story credits also   include the introduction of the Phantom Eagle, the WWI aviator hero whose   adventures were later chronicled by Garth Ennis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of   the Golden Age’s earliest talents, \u003cb\u003eGeorge Tuska\u003c\/b\u003e (1916-2009) created characters for Fiction House, Harvey   Comics and Fawcett Comics’ Captain Marvel   Adventures, among many others. He helped launch   one of the most popular post-war genres in Lev Gleason’s Crime Does Not Pay. He eventually   provided multi-genre art for Atlas Comics, to which he returned following its   transformation into Marvel. Tuska penciled Ghost   Rider, Luke Cage: Power   Man and Sub-Mariner, as well as a 10-year Iron Man stint. At DC, he illustrated Challengers   of the Unknown and Superman, among others. As a comic-strip artist, Tuska drew Buck Rogers, Scorchy Smith and DC’s World’s Greatest Superheroes. His   final industry work was cover art for Masquerade, part of Dynamite’s Golden Age character revival, bringing him   full circle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKeith   Pollard\u003c\/b\u003e drew simultaneous runs on three of Marvel’s   longest-running titles: Amazing Spider-Man, Fantastic Four and Thor,   including Roy Thomas and Mark Gruenwald’s “Eternals Saga.” During the 1990s,   he singlehandedly penciled hundreds of characters for the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Master Edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Marvel Preview series “The Sword and   The Star” was not only Rocket Raccoon’s first appearance, but \u003cb\u003eKeith Giffen\u003c\/b\u003e’s first published work.   He moved into more mainstream titles with Defenders, penciling the adventures of the infamous non-team during some   of its most nontraditional storylines. It was at DC, however, that he   achieved his greatest recognition with creations Ambush Bug, an irreverent   wannabe hero who tackled the comics industry itself, and alien mercenary   Lobo, who was meant as an indictment of the violent vigilante genre, but   became its most extreme success story. In addition to famed stints on Legion of Super-Heroes and Justice League, he also wrote X-O Manowar and Magnus, Robot Fighter for Valiant   Comics, and adapted mangas Battle Royale and Ikki Tousen into English. He has played a vital role in cosmic crossovers   at both Marvel and DC, writing Annihilation tie-ins for the former, and penciling 52 and Countdown   to Final Crisis for the latter.","brand":"Marvel Universe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46301767401701,"sku":"NP9781302960599","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781302960599.jpg?v=1767730183","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/iron-man-epic-collection-ten-rings-to-rule-the-world-isbn-9781302960599","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
