Iron Man #55 (1973)

We take on an actual CLASSIC comic with significant events and debuts that still manages to be stupid with IRON MAN from 1973. Thanos is here for the first time as is Drax and Starfox and all the other cosmic goobers you’ve grown to love. Still though, its a ridiculous book as Tony gets a wicked migraine and gets beat up in his office by two Monchhichis on steroids. He ends up hung over at Thanos’s place in the American Southwest where Bobby Flay’s making egg rolls while Drax is all tied up trying to figure out why his eyebrows are growing into his eyeballs like some horrific Martin Scorsese mutation.

We also take a moment to pay tribute to the mighty Meltdown Comics here in LA, shutting its doors after twenty-plus years of cultural awesomeness.
