Tales of Suspense No. 39 [Marvel Legends] #[nn]

In "Iron Man Is Born!", Tony Stark takes his date Marion to the circus, where a sudden animal escape forces him to don his grey Iron Man armor to restore order—only to be unsettled by the crowd's fear. Inspired by Marion’s suggestion, he experiments with a golden suit, leading to a showdown with Gargantus, a colossal alien robot whose defeat comes through clever use of floating magnets. The issue, written by Stan Lee and R. Berns and illustrated by Jack Kirby with inks by Don Heck, features a cover by Kirby and Heck, capturing the moment of transformation and action.
