A review by apworden
Essential Iron Man - Volume 1 by Don Heck, Stan Lee

3.0

I picked this up with the goal of reading through all of the Iron Man comics as best as possible. After you sift through some of the racism and sexism (common for the time period in which it was written I suppose?) about halfway through I actually found myself getting emotionally involved in the lives of Tony Stark, Pepper Potts, and Happy Hogan. I recommend this to anyone curious about how the popular superhero started out as well as an interesting study into the mind of early 1960s America.
