Iron Man #28

Iron Man #28 was published by Marvel Comics in August 1970 during the Bronze Age of comic books. At this point in the series, the title was finding its footing as a standalone feature following the character's long-running tenure in Tales of Suspense. The issue features a script by Archie Goodwin and artwork by Don Heck, who was instrumental in defining the visual language of Tony Stark and his armored alter ego throughout the 1960s.

The narrative centers on the conflict between Iron Man and the Controller, a recurring antagonist who utilized his 'slave discs' to exert mental control over others. In terms of design, the cover and interior work reflect the classic house style of Marvel at the time, prioritizing high-stakes melodrama and dynamic, character-driven action. It remains a representative example of the gritty, tech-focused storytelling that Goodwin introduced to the title, emphasizing Stark’s personal vulnerabilities alongside his technical prowess.
