Alone Against A.I.M.!: The Origin of Iron Man

Overview Market Data $396+ Discussion

Description

Iron Man launches his first solo series as Tony Stark, industrialist and secret armored hero, faces the terrorist science cabal A.I.M. Cut off from help and trapped, he must survive an assault built to expose and destroy him.

The issue pairs that opening battle with an abridged retelling of Iron Man's origin, the wartime injury and desperate invention that first put Stark in the armor. Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. feature as the espionage world closes in around Stark Industries.
