(April, 1973) "Strike!" 

Cover art: George Tuska. 

Script: Steve Gerber. 

Art: George Tuska/Esposito & Giacoia. 

Gene Kahn attempts to unionize Stark employees while simultaneously smearing Tony Stark's reputation. Wait -- who is Gene Kahn? One look at page 3, panel 4's ringed hand kinda gives it away!! And what is up with Mandarin hiring totally useless thugs (with names like "Mack" and "Guff")?? YEESH! Bonus points: A quick Mandy origin tale and a Mandy rings' powers reference (which changes a bit 12 issues from now, however)!

Hube's Recommendation: 3 1/2 repulsors!
