Iron Man #3

Iron Man finds himself surrounded — and seemingly buried — beneath a crushing mass of mechanical wreckage and weapon barrels, his red-and-gold armor crackling with blue energy discharge as he strains against the pile with both fists. The cover by penciler Sean Chen and inker Scott Hanna is a dynamic, almost overwhelming composition that makes Tony Stark feel genuinely outmatched, which is a compelling promise for "The Art of the Deal." With Kurt Busiek scripting and Sean Chen on interior art as well, this April 1998 issue of The Invincible Iron Man arrives with a creative team clearly committed to putting the Armored Avenger through his paces.
