In "My Life for Yours!", Tony Stark suits up as Iron Man to rescue his friend Happy, who's been taken by the Black Knight, leading to a desperate fight in a remote castle near Washington. With both heroes wounded and Stark struggling to stay conscious, help arrives for Happy—but Iron Man is left behind, collapsing in silence as Senator Boyd escalates his public campaign against Stark. Written by Roy Thomas and Flo Steinberg, with art by Adam Austin and inks by Gary Michaels, this gripping tale blends personal stakes with high-stakes action, all rendered in the bold colors of Marie Severin and the dynamic covers by Gene Colan and Jack Abel.
