Iron Man #185

In "Terror In Tulaluma!", Iron Man faces off against the relentless Aquarius, whose scheme to eliminate the armored hero and his allies reaches a critical point—though not the outcome he intended. Written by Denny O'Neil and brought to life with sharp, dynamic art by Luke McDonnell, inked by Steve Mitchell, and colored by Bob Sharen, this 1984 issue captures Tony Stark at a tense crossroads, balancing his role as a hero with the ever-present strain of his dual identity. The cover by McDonnell and Mitchell perfectly encapsulates the issue’s high-stakes atmosphere.
