Iron Man Epic Collection, Vol. 8: Demon in a Bottle

The trio of David Michelinie, Bob Layton and John Romita Jr. make comics history in this iconic run!

A new era begins for Iron Man — and for comics! Visionary creators Bob Layton, David Michelinie and John Romita Jr. launch a character-defining run that proves Tony Stark is far more than a technological genius. Stark’s true strength shines through perseverance in the face of personal demons and relentless enemies. This groundbreaking era also introduces a dynamic new cast — including Jim Rhodes, the future War Machine — and showcases bold new Iron Man armors. While the Michelinie/Layton/Romita Jr. collaboration reaches its emotional peak with “Demon in a Bottle,” the saga soars even further with epic clashes against Titanium Man, the All-Devourer and Madame Masque! Guest-starring the Hulk in a three-issue conflict between armor and raw power!
