“The Coming of Ka-Zar!”

In "The Coming of Ka-Zar!" from Spider-Man Comics Weekly #52 (1974), Stan Lee and R. Berns team up with Jack Kirby on art and D. Heck on inks to deliver a thrilling tale that kicks off with Tony Stark taking his date Marion to the circus—only for a wild animal escape to send him into action as Iron Man. When a mysterious robot named Gargantus attacks, the golden-armored hero must use magnet-based tactics to dismantle the alien machine, culminating in a dramatic showdown with a fleeing flying saucer. John Romita’s dynamic cover captures the moment, adding a classic touch to this standout UK-exclusive issue.

Tony takes his newest date, Marion, to the circus. When the wild animals escape, he rounds them up as Iron Man. His grey armor scares the onlookers. Marion suggests that a golden metal might make him look more heroic. A golden Iron Man then battles Gargantus, who turns out to be a mighty robot built by aliens. Iron Man defeats Gargantus by hurling three magnets at him. The magnets float around the robot, ripping its body to pieces. Iron Man then throws the magnets at a flying saucer he just spotted. The aliens flee and, next day, Tony has another date with Marion.
