IRON MAN #78
(Sept., 1975) "Long Time Gone."
Cover art (guess): Gil Kane.
Script: Bill Mantlo.
Art: George Tuska/Vince Colletta.
What is basically a filler issue turns out to be one of the finest Shellhead stories ever written! Tony Stark thinks back to a past Iron Man mission to embattled Vietnam...where tragedy struck! It turns out to be a pivotal moment in Tony's life. Guaranteed to put a lump in your throat by issue's end.

Hube's Recommendation: 5 repulsors!
