Die ruhmreichen Rächer #81
In "Geiseln!", Iron Man faces a new threat when the vengeful Countess Stephanie de la Spirosa teams up with the Mad Thinker to expose his secret identity. With the Awesome Android sent to capture Tony Stark, the hero uses quick thinking and his iconic armor to turn the tide—only to face a crisis when Happy's condition worsens back at the hospital. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Don Heck, with inks by Mickey Demeo, this 1978 issue delivers high-stakes tension and a rare moment of vulnerability for the armored hero. The cover, a dynamic collaboration by Marie Severin, John Buscema, and Tom Palmer, captures the intensity of the showdown.
In a 1978 tale from *Die ruhmreichen Rächer #81*, Iron Man is celebrated in New York after defeating Titanium Man, but his victory draws the attention of the vengeful Countess Stephanie de la Spirosa, who enlists the Mad Thinker to uncover his true identity. When the Awesome Android is sent to capture Tony Stark, he outsmarts his captors with a cleverly rigged briefcase, dons his armor in time, and turns the tide—only to face the aftermath of a collapsing lab and a worsening crisis at the hospital, where Happy’s condition demands his presence, even as Tony’s chest plate needs recharging.
