As the Marvel Age of Comics exploded on the pop-culture scene, super
hero after super hero that redefined the genre leaped forth from the
imagination of the Marvel Bullpen. Adventurers and innovators,
scientists and high-school bookworms, they were amazing men and women
with all the failings and foibles of you and me. And there are none that
touch both adventurer ideal and human reality as Tony Stark, the
Invincible Iron Man. A jet-setter, playboy, and brilliant scientist,
Tony is cut down to Earth when a battlefield explosion rips into his
heart. Only by creating the amazing Iron Man armor can he stay alive!

super-spies, the Iron Man Omnibus presents the stories of one of comics'
most intriguing characters from the very beginning! Featuring the first

Widow, Hawkeye, the Crimson Dynamo and the Titanium Man in
