IRON MAN #250

(Dec., 1989) "Recurring Knightmare." 

Cover art: Bob Layton. 

Script: David Michelinie. 

Art: Bob Layton. 

Double-sized anniversary issue which follows Doc Doom and Shellhead to....the future!! Specifically, it is the year 2093, and a pre-teen King Arthur is behind the previous issue's artifact's machinations! There's treachery afoot in this supposedly serene future -- evil versions of IM and Doc Doom are plotting an overthrow of the planet! See: Andros Stark, grandson of Arno (IM 2020), who is one nasty dude! See: the current Doc Doom -- still alive, but almost completely a machine! Layton, who is usually better as an inker, does an outstanding job as both artist and inker here -- his IM 2093 is brutal, and Bob sure makes him appear that way!

Hube's Recommendation: 4 1/2 repulsors!
