IRON MAN #235
(Oct., 1988) "Epitaph in Grey"
Cover art: Script: David Michelinie.
Art: Jackson Guice/Bob Layton.
Clingy Kathy Dare continues her bid to become Tony Stark's main squeeze, as Marcy Pearson investigates the disappearance of an old friend. As the cover asks, who is the mysterious sculptor Paul St. Pierre, and why do his stone sculptures look so amazingly lifelike...and terrified? (Don't peek at the last page or you'll spoil the surprise!) Nice and creepy set-up to a refreshing take on an old villain.
