Iron Man #59

In "A Madness In Motown!", Tony Stark and Pepper Potts are taken hostage during a trip to Detroit, setting off a tense standoff with the mysterious Firebrand, who demands Iron Man's presence at the grave of Simon Gilbert. Written by Mike Friedrich and illustrated by George Tuska with inks by Mike Esposito, this 1973 issue delivers a sharp, grounded thriller with personal stakes and a lingering mystery. The cover by Rich Buckler and Joe Sinnott captures the urgency of the moment, while the story unfolds with the kind of suspense that makes this a standout in the early Iron Man run.
