“Long Time Gone”

In "Long Time Gone," Tony Stark confronts the lasting impact of his past actions when firsthand exposure to the devastation of the Vietnam War forces him to reevaluate his role in the arms industry. Written by Bill Mantlo and illustrated by George Tuska, with inks by Vince Colletta and colors by P. Rachelson, this pivotal 1975 issue captures a turning point in Iron Man’s journey. The cover by Gil Kane and Klaus Janson reflects the weight of that reckoning.
