Secret Wars #11
In "A Little Death Chapter Two," Iceman returns home for his father’s retirement party, only to face a tense reunion with parents who don’t understand his life as a superhero.

Written by J. M. DeMatteis and illustrated by Alan Kupperberg, with inks by Mike Gustovich, colors by Bob Sharen, and letters by Janice Chiang, this 1985 Marvel UK issue captures a raw, personal moment in the superhero’s life, all under a striking cover by Bob Sharen.
