PART TWO OF 'STAN LEE PRESENTS': THE INVINCIBLE IRON MAN...

Copyright MARVEL COMICS

Hi gang, Stan Lee yakkin' with you again as promised last post.  Up here in the Heavenly Hills, I'm having a great time, but I miss my ol' Soapbox days, which is why I occasionally 'inhabit' my Mego 8 inch action figure so that I can communicate with all you Marvel Maniacs.  This time round we'll take a look at the Invincible Iron Man, as well as the infallibility of human memory (especially mine).

At one time, both Jack Kirby and Don Heck seemed to think that Jack had laid out the pages of the very first Iron Man story.  It later turned out they were both mistaken and that Don had drawn Shellhead's debut all on his lonesome.  Don was probably confused by Jack pencilling Tony Stark's alter-ego's second appearance, which Don inked.  However, it's said that Jack designed the Iron suit as seen on the above cover, but I have a notion that covers were drawn after the contents, so if Jack designed the armour, perhaps he did it before producing the cover.  Just a guess of course, but that doesn't mean it ain't so.  (Doesn't mean it is either.  Hey, I like to be fair.)

Jack wasn't very consistent in drawing Stark's armour (especially the joints), and he gave him a cannon shell-shaped head with no chin, but Don fixed that at the inking stage whenever Jack was illustrating, and had drawn Iron Man's mask with a chin from the very beginning when he was pencilling.  Whoever designed the suit, it was Don's version of it that was the better one, looking far more impressive, to say nothing of realistic even.

As with Thor, I supplied the plot, though I have no idea if I talked things over with Kirby before handing it to my brother Larry to do a full script for Don to follow.  Larry came up with the name of Tony Stark, avoiding the alliteration that I was prone to, which is why he wasn't called Tony Tinhorn or Anthony Anderson.  Yep, there's no doubt about it, Tony Stark is a much better name for a millionaire playboy in the '60s.  Larry, ya did me proud.

Anyway, that's it for now.  Gotta dash for my monthly memory competition with Jolly Jack (yep, he's up here too) to see who misremembers the most from those early days of the Marvel Age of Comics.  It's usually a draw, 'cos we're both as bad as each other when it comes to recalling exactly how things happened.  We both did something right though, whoever did what, which is why these characters are still around in the 21st century.

'Nuff said!
