Collecting Iron Man (1968) #82-94 and Annual #3-4. Tony Stark is one of the Marvel Universe’s most advanced minds and experienced inventors — but those talents are about to be turned against him, shaking him to his core! Looking to exploit Stark Industries tech, the Red Ghost kidnaps Tony. In the melee, Happy Hogan dons the Iron Man armor, but suffers severe injuries — leading to a dangerous procedure that will once again turn him into the monstrous Freak! Meanwhile, NYPD Detective Michael O’Brien begins an investigation aiming to nail Tony for the death of O’Brien’s brother, the Guardsman. Add to that the Blood Brothers, the Controller, the Melter, M.O.D.O.K. and a new incarnation of the Molecule Man — Iron Man must defend himself from threats from all corners before he loses everything!

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'!
