Iron Man #233

In "Slaughterday!", Tony Stark faces the daunting task of proving the new Iron Man isn't another menace, even as old enemies and new schemes test his resolve. When Ant-Man intervenes to thwart a sabotage plot orchestrated by Edwin Cord, the stakes rise for a hero trying to rebuild trust in a world still wary of his armor. Written by David Michelinie and Bob Layton, with art by Jackson Guice and Bob Layton, and a cover by Butch Guice and Bob Layton, this 1988 issue captures Iron Man at a pivotal moment—where legacy, reputation, and redemption collide.
