That's all I read when I was a kid. Steve Ditko and Jack Kirby had just as much to do with Iron Man's pliable armor as Stan Lee did. Lee generally gave his artists a lot of freedom in creating the look for his characters. And Kirby did the cover art for Tales of Suspense #48 (the one with IM's new armor) while Ditko did the interiors.Verdant Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03139591223231428391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32194857.post-37545173257083689932010-09-13T08:52:25.650-04:002010-09-13T08:52:25.650-04:00your names NOT Earl?

My candy store was next door on the corner, btw. In fact you didn't need to go anywhere but a seven block radius. The factories, the grocery store, the church, the undertakers, the school, the barber shop, the bakery, THE WHOLE FREAKIN FAMILY, all right there within 7 blocks.<br /><br />What was I sayin?<br /><br />Oh yeah... My Iron Man goes to this real clunky yellow robot-like outfit before Stan Lee invented pliable iron to cover the whole body. Stan Lee did invent iron that moves with the body right? I mean that was him right?<br /><br />I'm going to like your series when it stays on Marvel. I didn't realize it until just a while ago, but when it came to comics, I am/was a Marvel bigot!RWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14416316296228157208noreply@blogger.com
