Tales of Suspense #55
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 1964 Marvel thriller pits Iron Man against one of his most formidable foes, as the cover by Jack Kirby (inked by Sol Brodsky) dramatically captures a giant, sneering Mandarin clutching a tiny, struggling Iron Man in his ring-adorned fist — the sheer size contrast making the Armored Avenger look genuinely outmatched. The bold title "No One Escapes the Mandarin!" sets a tense, urgent tone, backed by Stan Lee's script and Don Heck's interior art. As a bonus, the issue promises a five-page "Inside Info About Iron Man!" section — a treat for any reader eager to know more about the Golden Avenger.
