Iron Man #178

In "Once an Avenger, Always an Avenger!", a group of Brooklyn kids grapples with the absence of their hero when the real Iron Man steps away from the Avengers, only to reconsider their initial dismissal. Written by Bob Harras and illustrated by Luke McDonnell, with inks by Steve Mitchell, colors by Bob Sharen, and letters by Rick Parker, this 1984 issue captures a quiet moment of reflection and loyalty. The cover by Luke McDonnell and Steve Mitchell reflects the story’s heartfelt tone.
