“Demon in a Bottle!”

In "Demon in a Bottle!", Tony Stark confronts the crushing weight of his own demons as his battle with alcoholism takes center stage. Written by Bob Layton and David Michelinie, with art by Bob Layton and John Romita Jr., this pivotal issue dives deep into the personal turmoil behind the Iron Man armor, rendered with emotional intensity and striking visuals. The cover by Bob Layton captures the storm within, a 40-cent look at a man fighting his most dangerous enemy yet.
