Name: The Mandarin's Revenge
Publisher: Marvel
Released: Jun 1964

First Appearances:
Miss Hotchkiss
Skrang

While testing out a new helmet for the Iron Man armor, Tony Stark receives a summons to the Pentagon. A new line of Stark's observer missiles has failed completely, and suspicions fall on Tony. Tony investigates the situation, only to discover the fault is not with the technology, but with the Mandarin, who has been quietly manipulating the missiles into error. He has no choice but to face the Mandarin once again.

However, Mandarin is too powerful for Iron Man, and manages to defeat him. Iron Man is left wondering how he will escape, with no idea what will happen.

Also includes: "Skrang Strikes Tonight!" (Lee, Lieber, Ayers, Simek); "Tales of the Watcher: Hands Off!" (Lee, Lieber, Stone, Simek)

Guide Notes:
2nd & 3rd Mandarin app
Wow! This book has decent eye-appeal and deep rich color on this all-time-classic
2nd Mandarin cover! There is a large arrival date on the front cover (o6/64) which is not supposed to affect the grade but we discounted for it. With cream/slight heavy-cream tint interiors. We have
adjusted the grade accordingly on this key Iron Man vs Mandarin issue!

This book is from our brand-new, one-owner, high-grade "Beantown" collection from Boston, Mass! It comes with a certificate of authenticity from Kermitspad, Top Other Auction Site (13.789 positives) and HipComic top sellers!
