IRON MAN #56
(March, 1973) "Rasputin's Revenge!"
Cover art: Jim Starlin.
Script: Steve Gerber.
Art: Jim Starlin/Mike Esposito.
Way-out off-beat tale just doesn't feel like an Iron Man story (maybe it's a dream, as suggested by a letter-writer a couple of issues hence). Even Starlin art can't help. Weirdo "Rasputin" awakens a statue that seems pretty easy to defeat considering it is supposed to be the embodiment of all evil. Hear Iron Man say: "And when I'm mad, it's all over but the body count." Yeah, baby!
xkot's Recommendation: 3 repulsors!
