C'mon, you can't really blame The Iron Giant here. All brightly colored and metallic, Tony Stark must look like a nice piece of candy to him. I imagine that he would realize his error before things went too far and by the end of the story, both characters would receive an upgrade in their hardware by combining their technology.

ReplyDeleteI don't blame the Iron Giant on this cover. Ted Hughes'
ReplyDeleteoriginal poem was called 'The Iron Man". Until Marvel came up with a writ for copywrite infringement. So good choice Ross.
You've used Iron Giant a few times (most effectively with Transformers, I thought), but if you could get art with his boy companion would you consider him facing Gigantor? I don't know where you would find Johnny Sokko in comics form, but Gigantor and Ultraman ought to be easy to find in the US.
ReplyDeleteIf the Iron Giant had good communication ability he'd quote Malekith the Accursed (The master of the hounds, a dark elf from the realm of Svartalfheim!) "Your armor does not contain much iron".
