“If a Man Be Mad!”

In "If a Man Be Mad!", Tony Stark faces a crisis of credibility when his cousin Morgan conspires with Count Nefaria to frame him as delusional by staging a fake alien invasion. With Pepper’s loyalty in question and Senator Byrd poised to cancel Stark’s contracts, Iron Man must step in when real aliens appear—turning the tide in Tony’s favor. Written by Al Hartley and illustrated by Don Heck, with inks by Mickey Demeo and letters by Sam Rosen, this 1965 tale sees Stark’s reputation hang in the balance, all under Jack Kirby’s dynamic cover and Frank Giacoia’s bold inks.
