Iron Man increases his armor's power as his title gains a powerful new writer: Bill Mantlo. Mantlo's run delved into Tony Stark's supporting cast, added a dose of industrial intrigue and brought back iconic adversaries. It begins with accusations of Stark Industries bribing U.S. senators, gets dangerous with the return of Ultimo and reaches fever pitch when an all-new Guardsman comes calling. Next, in the lead-up to issue #100, Sunfire pits heat against iron in the prelude to the return of the Mandarin. Then, the mysterious Madame Masque and the Jack of Hearts enter the fray. And we wrap up with an out-of-this-world battle for Wundagore and a Jack of Hearts solo adventure. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCOLLECTING: THE INVINCIBLE IRON MAN (1968) #92-114 \u0026amp; ANNUAL (1971) #4 and MARVEL PREMIERE (1972) #44\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBill Mantlo\u003c\/b\u003e began his Marvel career on Deadly Hands of Kung Fu, in which he introduced White Tiger, one of the industry's earliest Hispanic super heroes. Eventually writing stories for almost every Marvel title, he did some of his most fondly remembered work on Incredible Hulk and Spectacular Spider-Man. He also launched Cloak and Dagger in a pair of miniseries and guided Alpha Flight through some of its most harrowing ordeals. Mantlo excelled at integrating licensed properties into the Marvel Universe, as demonstrated by Micronauts and Rom: Spaceknight, both of which he wrote from start to finish. At DC, he wrote the Invasion miniseries for one of the company's biggest crossover events. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eGerry Conway\u003c\/b\u003e wrote Daredevil, Incredible Hulk, Iron Man and others. He was instrumental in Marvel's 1970s horror boom with work on Man-Thing, Tomb of Dracula and Werewolf by Night. His years on Amazing Spider-Man yielded such historic highlights as the groundbreaking death of Gwen Stacy and the debut of the Punisher. He also wrote DC's Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Legion of Super-Heroes. For TV, he has written and produced episodes of Diagnosis: Murder, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Huntress and Matlock. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeginning as Stan Lee's production assistant, \u003cb\u003eHerb Trimpe\u003c\/b\u003e (1939-2015) went on to pencil a seven-year run on Marvel mainstay Incredible Hulk -- during which he debuted the future X-Man, Wolverine -- as well as 1970s classics Marvel Team-Up, Shogun Warriors and Godzilla. He was equally prolific during the 1980s on Nick Fury, The 'Nam and G.I. Joe; the 1990s saw him illustrate Marvel's First Family on Fantastic Four Unlimited. Trimpe's war-story credits also include the introduction of the Phantom Eagle, the WWI aviator hero whose adventures were later chronicled by Garth Ennis. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOne of the Golden Age's earliest talents, \u003cb\u003eGeorge Tuska\u003c\/b\u003e (1916-2009) created characters for Fiction House, Harvey Comics and Fawcett Comics' Captain Marvel Adventures, among many others. He helped launch one of the most popular post-war genres in Lev Gleason's Crime Does Not Pay. He eventually provided multi-genre art for Atlas Comics, to which he returned following its transformation into Marvel. Tuska penciled Ghost Rider, Luke Cage: Power Man and Sub-Mariner, as well as a 10-year Iron Man stint. At DC, he illustrated Challengers of the Unknown and Superman, among others. As a comic-strip artist, Tuska drew Buck Rogers, Scorchy Smith and DC's World's Greatest Superheroes. His final industry work was cover art for Masquerade, part of Dynamite's Golden Age character revival, bringing him full circle. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eKeith Pollard\u003c\/b\u003e drew simultaneous runs on three of Marvel's longest-running titles: Amazing Spider-Man, Fantastic Four and Thor, including Roy Thomas and Mark Gruenwald's \"Eternals Saga.\" During the 1990s, he singlehandedly penciled hundreds of characters for the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Master Edition. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Marvel Preview series \"The Sword and The Star\" was not only Rocket Raccoon's first appearance, but \u003cb\u003eKeith Giffen\u003c\/b\u003e's first published work. He moved into more mainstream titles with Defenders, penciling the adventures of the infamous non-team during some of its most nontraditional storylines. It was at DC, however, that he achieved his greatest recognition with creations Ambush Bug, an irreverent wannabe hero who tackled the comics industry itself, and alien mercenary Lobo, who was meant as an indictment of the violent vigilante genre, but became its most extreme success story. In addition to famed stints on Legion of Super-Heroes and Justice League, he also wrote X-O Manowar and Magnus, Robot Fighter for Valiant Comics, and adapted mangas Battle Royale and Ikki Tousen into English. He has played a vital role in cosmic crossovers at both Marvel and DC, writing Annihilation tie-ins for the former, and penciling 52 and Countdown to Final Crisis for the latter.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 480\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 10.1 x 6.6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 03, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44275756793958,"sku":"9781302960599","price":53.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/sR_WWnAApz9781302960599.webp?v=1766421680","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/iron-man-epic-collection-ten-rings-to-rule-the-world-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
