Story Notes

Iron Man gets his new, modern-looking red and gold armor designed by Steve Ditko. Mister Doll was originally named Mister Pain, a change noticeable in the lettering and confirmed in Essential Iron Man (Marvel, 2000 series) #1. It was presumably changed to meet the restrictions of the Comics Code. (Note added by Haydn via the GCD Error Tracker.) Job number revealed on original art. Info per Nick Caputo.

"It has been written that no man can escape his fate!"
