“The MODOK Machine!”

In "The MODOK Machine!", Iron Man finds himself caught in the crossfire of a brutal clash between two of Marvel’s most twisted intellects—Modok and the Thinker—marking a pivotal moment in the war of the super-villains. Written by Mike Friedrich and brought to life by Arvell Jones and Keith Pollard’s dynamic art, with inks by Dick Ayers and colors by Phil Rache, this 1975 classic captures the chaos with precision and flair. The cover, by Gil Kane and Frank Giacoia, perfectly encapsulates the escalating stakes.
