Iron Man: The Armor Wars

In this 1990 Marvel one-shot, Tony Stark wages a covert war to reclaim his stolen technology from villains and corporate rivals who have reverse-engineered his Iron Man armor. Writer and artist Mark Bright drives the story, which expands the "Armor Wars" storyline from the main series into a standalone conflict. The issue matters as a focused, high-stakes chapter in Iron Man's history, exploring the consequences of his genius falling into the wrong hands.
