“Dragon Seed”

In "Dragon Seed," Iron Man confronts the ancient origins of Fin Fang Foom, uncovering a cosmic truth hidden in ancient myths. Written by John Byrne and illustrated by Paul Ryan, with inks by Bob Wiacek and colors by Paul Becton, this 1991 issue blends myth and science as Earth’s dragon legends are traced back to a long-lost alien crash. The story builds to a striking confrontation between Iron Man and Fin Fang Foom, with the cover by Paul Ryan and Bob Wiacek capturing the moment in dramatic detail.

Aliens crash land in the orient, explaining from whence came the stories of Dragons, and how Fin Fang Foom came to be on Earth. Most of the rest of the story is exposition and description of how fact got turned into legend. The ending comes as Iron Man comes face to face with Fin Fang Foom.
