Iron Man #156

Iron Man dives headlong across a high-tech rooftop installation in a dynamic clash with the armored Mauler, whose blue-and-white suit bristles with firepower, while two civilians scramble to safety below — it's a striking cover composition by penciler Al Milgrom and inker Bob Layton that captures the sheer kinetic tension of the confrontation. "The Mauler Mandate!" promises a formidable armored showdown for Tony Stark, and this 1982 Marvel issue delivers that premise with confident, eye-catching energy right from the front cover.
