Iron Man #151

In "G.A.R.D.'s Gauntlet," Tony Stark grapples with personal despair after Bethany’s sudden departure, leaving him isolated and adrift. When a dangerous chemical spill at G.A.R.D. threatens to escalate, Scott Lang—now operating as Ant-Man—steps in to prevent disaster, forcing Tony to confront his own vulnerability. Written by Bob Layton and David Michelinie, with art by Luke McDonnell and Bob Layton, and a cover by Bob Layton and Terry Austin, this 1981 issue captures a pivotal moment in Iron Man’s journey, grounded in emotional weight and high-stakes crisis.
