“Death Knells Over Detroit!”

In "Death Knells Over Detroit!", Iron Man fights to survive after being captured and left behind, only to face off against both Steele and the returning Marauder. With Detroit threatened by a bomb and Pepper in danger, Iron Man must overcome the odds—both in the air and on the ground—while a quiet rift grows between him and Happy. Written by Mike Friedrich and drawn by George Tuska, with inks by Mike Esposito and colors by Petra Goldberg, this 1973 issue delivers high-stakes action and emotional tension. The cover by Rich Buckler and Frank Giacoia captures the intensity of the moment.

Escaping from his capture last issue Iron Man battles Steele, who was left behind to dismantle him. Hearing the fight, the Marauder returns and takes out Iron Man again. Then the Marauder threatens to nuke Detroit calling Pepper to demand Stark pay a ransom to prevent it. Returning to the shuttle from the call the Marauder finds a recharged Iron Man shaking free of the debris that buried him and the battle resumes. Ultimately Iron Man wins and defuses the bomb. In the background to the main action, a jealous Happy leaves Pepper because she's never available.
