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.
Whoa!
ReplyDeleteExcellent renderings--his and yours--both!
ReplyDeleteP.S.---None of today's reviewers will be the robots Tony is being forced to build. :-)
im very surpised legends of tomorrow has yet to show historical dc folk like shining knight silent knight or viking prince
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteGreat book and cover ! Doom's best line had to be "Enter, errand boy."
ReplyDeleteI loved the What If? follow up to that story line
ReplyDeleteI had that issue of Iron man and it was always one of my favorites too.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteA-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.
ReplyDeleteWho 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!
ReplyDeleteIf 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!"
