☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Death of Tony Stark!" from Tales of Suspense #61 (1965), a 12-cent Marvel classic, Tony Stark's sudden disappearance sends Pepper and Happy into a spiral of concern—leading them to resign from Stark Industries. As Happy investigates, he stumbles upon a chilling scene: Tony, in full Iron Man armor but without his helmet, hides in bed, trying to convince him everything is fine. With the Mandarin's space-laser tearing through the factory and Stark seemingly killed, the hero vanishes into the shadows, disguising himself as a bearded traveler bound for China to face the Mandarin’s deadly robot Koto. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Don Heck with inks by Dick Ayers, colors by Stan Goldberg, and letters by S. Rosen, the cover by Jack Kirby and Chic Stone captures the tension of a hero at his breaking point.
In the wake of Tony Stark’s sudden disappearance, Pepper Potts and Happy Hogan grow uneasy—until Happy breaks into Stark’s home and finds him alive, hidden beneath his Iron Man armor. With the Mandarin unleashing a devastating space-laser on Stark’s factory and the man himself seemingly killed, Iron Man vanishes, disguising himself as a bearded stranger to flee to China. There, he confronts the Mandarin’s deadly robot, Koto, in a battle that tests his resolve and ingenuity.
