“And Who Shall Clothe Himself In Iron?”

In "And Who Shall Clothe Himself In Iron?", a desperate assault on the Stark compound forces an incapacitated Tony Stark to hand over the Iron Man mantle—leaving James Rhodes to step into the armor and defend the day. Written by Denny O'Neil and illustrated by Luke McDonnell, with inks by Steve Mitchell and colors by Bob Sharen, this pivotal 1983 issue marks a defining moment in the Iron Man legacy, with the cover by McDonnell and Mitchell capturing the weight of the transition.
