Shining Knight and Iron Man



Iron Man #150, in which Tony Stark and Doctor Doom are sent to the time of King Arthur and must find their way back, is one of my all-time favorite comic books.  I read it over and over when I was a kid.  Seeing the two adversaries have to work together and combine their technology to find a way home made for an excellent tale.

Excellent renderings--his and yours--both!

P.S.---None of today's reviewers will be the robots Tony is being forced to build. :-)

I wonder if a followup What If! story was done regarding Doctor Doom's adventure(s) after he stranded Iron Man in King Arthur's time (in What If! #33); the present might be DIFFERENT!

Great book and cover ! Doom's best line had to be "Enter, errand boy."

I loved the What If? follow up to that story line

I had that issue of Iron man and it was always one of my favorites too.

I believe it came along right after Tony had finally kicked his drinking habit after the brilliant 'Demon in a bottle' storyline.

And this was definitely in the age when Dr. Doom was still a villain with occasionally noble motivations, rather than the anti-hero, almost heroic figure with a tragic flaw he seems to have become these days.

Well said, Rilee - it was my favorite era for both characters.

I do not think he was a villain with occasionally noble motivations more that people understood reasons why he did it when there was a good writer.

A-ha! So now we know. It's Tony Stark who invented the Mecha-hounds! Causing all kinds of chronological confusion from the prehistoric site of present-day Gotham City all the way up to the 41st century (A.D.) megalopolis called North Am.

Who knows, Anon? It could even have been the Mecha-hounds that got reanimated (by a Mordru-controlled Ultron) for use against the LSH in STF #2324!

If so, Cary, then--if this had been a real-world comic--Ross would've published the greatest epic crossover since the original "Crisis On Two Earths!"
