IRON MAN #87

(June, 1976) "The Icy Hand of Death!" 

Cover art: No idea! 

Script: Bill Mantlo. 

Art: George Tuska/ Vince Colletta. 

Blizzard is revealed to be non-other than Gregor Shapanka (a.k.a. Jack Frost from Tales of Suspense #45). Somehow he was able to construct a micro-circuited body suit...while in prison! The melodrama is once again, over the top (even IM mentions his own melodramatic standard on page 30!). But there're some touching scenes between IM and Pepper and Pepper and Happy. And of course, IM gets to kick some Frozen Butt in the climactic battle scene, amidst much heroic banter!

Bill Egan's Recommendation: 3 repulsors!
