Tales of Suspense #82

In "By Force of Arms!", Iron Man faces off against the formidable Titanium Man in a high-stakes aerial clash above Washington D.C., drawing a stunned crowd that includes Pepper and Happy. As the battle escalates, Titanium Man unleashes a paralysis beam—only for Iron Man to counter with a daring move, short-circuiting the attack by yanking a live wire from his armor. With Pepper now in the crosshairs, the pressure mounts as Titanium Man demands surrender. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life by Gene Colan’s dynamic art and Frank Giacoia’s inks, this 1966 issue features a cover by Jack Kirby and Frank Giacoia that captures the intensity of the moment.
