Tales of Suspense #95

Iron Man charges fist-first into the hulking, stone-gray form of the Uncanny Grey Gargoyle, while a petrified human figure stands frozen in the background — a striking cover image from Gene Colan and Frank Giacoia that perfectly captures the threat suggested by the title "If a Man Be Stone!" This November 1967 issue of Tales of Suspense showcases Marvel's dual-feature format at its liveliest, pairing the Armored Avenger's solo adventure with a Captain America story under one roof. Stan Lee and Gene Colan were firing on all cylinders during this era, and the bold, dynamic composition here makes it easy to see why this run remains so fondly remembered.
