Iron Man #28
“The Controller Lives”
In "The Controller Lives," Tony Stark is pulled from his lab when an urgent call from an old flame sends him hurtling into danger—because the man he once outsmarted is back, and this time, he’s not playing games. Written by Archie Goodwin and brought to life with sharp, dynamic art by Don Heck, this 1970 Marvel classic sees Iron Man face a chilling return from the past, with lettering by Jean Izzo and inks by Johnny Craig. The cover, a striking collaboration by Marie Severin and Mike Esposito, captures the tension perfectly.
