“Return of the Hero”

In "Return of the Hero," Iron Man faces a chilling threat when Titanium Man reemerges in Times Square, declaring his intent to destroy Manhattan. Written by Bob Layton and David Michelinie and brought to life by Jerry Bingham’s dynamic art and Layton’s inks, this 1980 issue delivers a tense, high-stakes showdown with a cover by Bob Layton that captures the moment’s intensity.
