The Invincible Iron Man Omnibus Vol. 4

Iron Man finds himself in the middle of the War of the Super-Villains, a multi-part epic that is a highwater mark in 1970s Iron Man storytelling. Mandarin vs. Yellow Claw! M.O.D.O.K. vs. the Mad Thinker! Everyone against ol' Shellhead! Will a visit to the San Diego Comic Con provide the rest our hero needs? It's not all bad guys, though, as Iron Man finds time to team with Daredevil, Man-Thing and the Champions before the title is turned over to writer Bill Mantlo, who upgrades Iron Man's armor and brings back classic characters like Madame Masque while weaving Jack of Hearts into the drama. It's a four-year run of underrated Iron Man classics!
