I talked about Iron Man and his rogues gallery yesterday. Here’s an example of a well placed oddball villain making for a killer issue. Had he become a regular, it would have ruined the moment. But that’s why comics are put out in single issues, and why it’s slowly becoming a lost art.
#15 – Iron Man 252
Somehow a washed up former Iron Fist villain showed up JUST enough for a great issue. I was at the height of my encyclopedic knowledge of the Marvel universe… and I had never heard of this guy. A good isolation issue.
