“Stark Wars: Chapter 6 The Day the Hero Died”

In "Stark Wars: Chapter 6: The Day the Hero Died," Iron Man faces his most devastating trial yet when the government deploys the relentless Firepower to stop him—leaving Jim Rhodes powerless to intervene. With Tony Stark taking brutal punishment and his future hanging in the balance, this pivotal issue marks a turning point in the Iron Man saga, drawn with intensity by M. D. Bright and Bob Layton, and colored by Bob Sharen.
