Essential Iron Man, Vol. 1 by Art Simek, Larry Lieber, Stan Lee

3.0

In an effort to pin down what it is I like (and dislike) about Iron Man, I'm going back and reading him from the beginning. I can say with certainty that Tony Stark was originally (a) kind of a prick and (b) pretty dull. As a kid I picked up a few issues from the beginning of the Michelinie/Layton run; I might be waiting until his backstory and supporting cast are fleshed out sufficiently to make me enjoy reading Iron Man stories.
