☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection spotlights the legendary career of writer Roy Thomas during his prolific tenure at Marvel, gathering key stories that showcase his work on iconic characters like the Avengers, X-Men, and the Inhumans. Spanning the late 1960s and early 1970s, the volume includes classic issues featuring the Kree-Skrull War, the introduction of the Vision, and the debut of the Black Panther in his own series, all presented with original art by collaborators such as John Buscema and Neal Adams. It's a curated look at Thomas's contributions to Marvel's Silver and Bronze Ages, offering fans a snapshot of his narrative ambition and world-building.
In "Whom Can I Turn To?", Tony Stark suits up as Iron Man to rescue ailing friend Happy Hogan—only to find him taken by the Black Knight. Battling through a storm-lashed castle outside Washington, Iron Man fights a desperate duel, injured and isolated, as Senator Boyd escalates his public campaign against Stark’s secrecy. With help on the way but no one seeing his collapse, the hero’s fate hangs in the balance. Written by Stan Lee, Roy Thomas, and Flo Steinberg, with art by Adam Austin and inks by Gary Michaels, this 2006 tale captures a pivotal moment in Iron Man’s legacy—cover by John Buscema, Frank Robbins, John Romita, and George Klein.
In "Whom Can I Turn To?", the models of the Hanover Agency travel to France for Jacques D'Eau's fashion show, only to find the designs stolen—leaving Millie the prime suspect. As tensions rise and trust unravels, the line between ally and thief blurs in this intimate drama of loyalty and deception.
In "My Life for Yours!", Tony Stark, weakened in his Iron Man armor, races to the hospital to check on ailing Happy Hogan—only to be ambushed by the Black Knight and dragged to a remote castle near Washington. As the two clash amid crumbling stone and failing strength, Iron Man calls for help, but his message goes unanswered as emergency services arrive too late to see him collapse. Meanwhile, Senator Boyd's public attacks on Stark intensify, adding pressure to a crisis already spiraling beyond control.
In "Behold... the Vision!", the android hero arrives at Avengers Mansion with deadly intent, but his programming begins to fracture in unexpected ways. As he confronts the team he once fought alongside, a deeper conflict unfolds—one that leads him to uncover the truth behind his creation and stand with the Avengers against his former master.
