Iron Man #11

A civilian Tony Stark lies vulnerable at the center of this striking cover, surrounded by a ring of armored threats closing in from every direction — hulking mechanized figures, monstrous forms, and Iron Man armor variants bathed in an ominous orange glow. The bird's-eye composition, rendered by Sean Chen and Lary Stucker, gives the image a real sense of dread, with Stark appearing grimly calm despite the overwhelming odds encircling him. From the Wizard Fan Award-winning creative team of Kurt Busiek, Chen, and Stucker, "Schedule Conflicts" promises the kind of high-stakes tension that made this run such a treat for Iron Man fans in 1998.
