Iron Man Annual #10

Part of Marvel's 1989 "Atlantis Attacks" crossover event, this 64-page annual delivers a striking Bob Layton cover showing a defiant Sub-Mariner rising from churning ocean waters with Iron Man charging forward at his side, both figures surrounded by a barrage of incoming missiles. The tagline warns that "the Atlantean attack on the surface world begins — and an Avenger must die to stop them," setting a genuinely tense stage for David Michelinie's story, brought to life inside by Paul Smith and inker Michael Gustovich. It's a satisfying package that captures the scope and stakes of one of Marvel's most ambitious late-'80s crossovers.
