Set Description:
These Iron Man Classics are the 1st distributed of his 1st ongoing series. He has been around a long time, and he has kept up the pace all the while, keep it up! Doubles can be found in this set, even some with a Mark Jewelers Insert! Will we be collecting them all? I will definitely be on the lookout, as those inserts are a heavy percentage part of this run. Given its start in I believe 1968, it has a lot of niches still to work through and collect. Many 1sts and cameos to keep the thrill of the hunt, that is why I have 2 sets, for sure!
No Double, no love: Iron Man tough! Hanging out for the will of Iron to keep up with the many copies to collect, but some doubles have been acquired!

The evolving door that is the devolving Iron suited "Man" is at the behest of writers and the like, which find him wanting of some substance. Heroics aside, most comics are still about humans and taking in the fallible and infallible. Only hoping to reproof and correct those willing and unwilling by example. Those hard-earned world lessons come by way of temptations and ways of escape, that comics themselves allude to always being a possibility if one can see to look. Those are not the only character traits that one can take into eternity, and with every opportunity, make the best that you can and trust that the rest is satisfied. Those wills and hearts of courage lead to good reads as far back as the Silver Age and onward, before time began, I'm sure as well! Stamina and humbling oneself is the key to inheriting what the world is worth, for it is love, that is what a hero is to be made of!

1st FULL James Rhodes where he puts on the suit to become the Iron Man. In Mark Jewelers Insert style! Even at 7.5 these items are few and far between, it's just good to collect and to preserve! I like that I found it raw to be able to send in, I could have a chance to read it! James is a go between while Tony Stark is "out of service" and he could only be rewarded, in reputation, but also to make them test the habits of iron will power! Taking the duty to be the name behind the suit and show up when needed and or called. These are the media influences of today, 2022, but it's been in times past in print, that they proved their salt. They walk tall and keep the secret identity, as to not upset their personal lives. Odd that it was so important even back then! Villain beware, they try though they might, the sure stand in Faith! Back up is back up, if one is able to recognize the call for it.
Complete with a back cover picture of the "death and funeral" of Tony Stark! A raw $1 bin find at the used bookstore. Got to have some character building and the wonder of "what if" to stimulate any return of THE Iron Man!
Grader Notes:
light creasing to cover;
moderate bends to cover;
moderate spine stress lines to cover.
