“The Use of Deadly Force!”

Bob Layton's cover for The Invincible Iron Man #140 (November 1980) drops readers straight into a mid-air firefight, with Iron Man surging forward fist-raised through a sky thick with explosions and billowing smoke. Swarming all around him are green-uniformed enemy soldiers manning armed aerial platforms and gun emplacements, making it clear the Armored Avenger is outnumbered but hardly outmatched. Titled "Air Strike!" right on the cover, this issue promises the kind of high-altitude, high-stakes action that made Iron Man one of Marvel's most kinetic titles of its era.
