“When Demons Wail”

In "When Demons Wail," Tony Stark finds himself caught between duty and desire as Marianne’s fate takes a dark turn—her transformation into the Demon-Queen forces Iron Man to confront a battle that may cost him everything. Written by Gerry Conway and brought to life by George Tuska’s dynamic art, with inks by Frank Giacoia and letters by Jean Izzo, this 1971 issue delivers a haunting blend of personal stakes and supernatural tension. The cover, by Tuska and Giacoia, captures the moment’s chilling intensity.
