“The New Iron Man "Meets the Angel!"”

This January 1964 Marvel gem brings together two of the era's most exciting heroes, as the cover — penciled by Jack Kirby and inked by Steve Ditko — shows Iron Man plummeting toward a city skyline, his power jets exhausted, while the winged X-Man known as the Angel soars triumphantly above him. The thought balloon says it all: Iron Man himself fears he's been defeated, making for a genuinely arresting image of the Armored Avenger at his most vulnerable. Billed as a crossover "by special arrangement with X-Men Magazine," this issue captures the freewheeling spirit of Marvel's early years, when unexpected team-ups felt like real events.
