IRON MAN #254

(March, 1990) "Graduation Day." 

 Cover art: Bob Layton. 

Script: Bob Layton. Art: Bob Layton. 

Did you know that Bob Layton was supposed to take over the reins of IM for himself around this time -- as writer and artist (to one degree or another)? Yep -- and this is probably the first ish of such. Iron Man is after Madame Masque, but she stays ahead of him! But what makes this ish noteworthy is the rebirth of... Spymaster! The Taskmaster trains a group of recruits and the winner claims the Spymaster title! Also, kick-ass splash pages on the first and last page may be worth the cost of the ish alone!

Hube's Recommendation: 3 1/2 repulsors!
