Iron Man Annual #8

In Iron Man Annual #8 (1986), a 1.25 USD comic from Marvel, Iron Man confronts the moral weight of a secret project when he discovers young mutant Willie Evans imprisoned at Project Pegasus. With X-Factor drawn into the crisis by Willy’s desperate father, the team must race to contain the boy’s unleashed imagination before his powers spiral out of control—while grappling with the haunting cost of innocence lost. Written by Bob Harras and illustrated by Paul Neary, with inks by Akin and Garvey, colors by Petra Scotese, and letters by L. Lois Buhalis, the issue’s striking cover by Walter Simonson captures the moment of crisis.
