Iron Man #167

In "The Empty Shell," Tony Stark faces a dangerous new threat as Obadiah Stane manipulates global financiers through hypnosis, aiming to destroy Stark Industries. With his personal life unraveling and his drinking worsening, Tony struggles to protect both his company and the woman he's drawn to—Indries Moomji—whose true allegiance remains hidden. Written by Denny O'Neil and illustrated by Luke McDonnell, with inks by Steve Mitchell and colors by Bob Sharen, this 1983 issue captures Iron Man at his most vulnerable, both as a man and a hero. The cover, by Luke McDonnell and Steve Mitchell, reflects the tension simmering beneath the surface.
