Iron Man #282

The War Machine armor dominates this July 1992 issue of Iron Man, rendered in striking monochromatic steel tones against a bold blue background — weapons blazing from both shoulders and fists as the armored figure looms forward with unmistakable menace. Kevin Hopgood's cover pencils, inked by Bob Wiacek, give the heavily armed suit a hulking, mechanical presence that feels distinctly different from Tony Stark's sleeker designs. With Len Kaminski at the helm of the "War Machine" story inside, this is an issue that signals a compelling new direction for the Iron Man title.
