The Marvel Masterworks: Iron Man Series Reaches The Creative Legacy Of Michelinie, Layton And Romita Jr.!

Iron Man meets the most terrifying foe of his entire life: The addiction within. “Demon in a Bottle”, the legendary tale that caps off Marvel Masterworks: Iron Man Vol. 13 HC, due in March 2021, is a signal moment in the life of Tony Stark, and has proven to be one of comics great evergreens – and by one of its most popular creative combos. Many have lent their talents to The Invincible Iron Man, but few—if any—have had a greater impact than the creative trio of David Michelinie, Bob Layton and John Romita Jr. has. They remade Iron Man with new co-stars—including Jim Rhodes, the future War Machine—and new armors, but more important than anything else, a new, character-defining take on the man inside the armor. Their Tony Stark is a hero not because of the extent of his technological wizardry, but because of his perseverance in the face of his own personal failings. This beautifully restored Marvel Masterworks edition presents the beginning of the reinvention of a Marvel icon, culminating in the classic “Demon in a Bottle.”
