IRON MAN #52

(Nov., 1972) "Raga, Son the Fire!" 

 Cover art: Gil Kane. 

Script: Mike Friedrich. Art: George Tuska/Vince Colletta. 

 Fresh from a breakup with tender and flaky girlfriend Marianne Rodgers, Tony Stark heads to Los Angeles for some serious playboy reputation restoration. The fun doesn't last long when Raga, Son of Fire!, his lava powers and his granola gang show up. Friedrich's jump-cut storytelling style jars the senses.

xkot's Recommendation: 1/2 repulsors!
