Iron Man #43
In "Doomprayer!", Iron Man #43 (1971) delivers a wild, pulpy twist as Professor Garrett, wrongfully accused of treason by Giant-Man, vanishes into Europe and unleashes a monstrous experiment—genetically altering horses and eagles into a winged steed. Armed with a fearsome lance and reborn as the Black Knight, he returns for vengeance, only to be bested by Giant-Man in a clash of titans—though not before escaping into the shadows. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with dynamic art by Dick Ayers, with cover by Gil Kane and John Romita, this 25-cent classic blends sci-fi ambition with superhero spectacle.
