Iron Man #63

In "Enter: Dr. Spectrum," Tony Stark finds himself caught between a romantic moment with Roxie Gilbert and a sudden, brutal assault by the newly arrived Dr. Spectrum, unleashed under the Prism's control. With Iron Man defeated and presumed dead, Tony’s only hope lies in reconnecting with Pepper, who’s heartbroken over Happy’s departure—leading to a tender, unexpected kiss that sets off a chain of events just as Happy arrives in Detroit, unaware of what he’s missed. Written by Mike Friedrich and illustrated by George Tuska, with inks by Mike Esposito and colors by G. Roussos, this 1973 Marvel classic features a cover by Gil Kane and Mike Esposito.
