Iron Man

In 1999, Marvel launched a new Iron Man series, a short but significant one-issue story written by Joe Quesada with art by Alitha Martinez. This single issue, published under the Marvel Knights imprint, offered a self-contained, character-focused tale that stripped Tony Stark down to his core, showcasing the creative team's interest in gritty, psychological storytelling. While it stands alone as a brief chapter in the character's long history, it remains a notable example of the era's experimental approach to mainstream superhero comics.
