During an East Asian conflict, Stark Enterprises developed mini-transistors that Tony thought would help the war effort. While checking on his plant, which had been plagued by sabotage, Tony was injured by exploding shrapnel and captured by warlord Wong Chu. Chu forced Tony and another captive, famed physicist Ho Yinsen, to create weapons for him. All the time the shrapnel was slowly working on Tonys heart, killing him. Tony and Yinsen created an iron suit that would keep Tony alive and allow them to escape. During the escape Yinsen was killed, sacrificing himself to allow Tony time to change for the first time to Iron Man. Iron Man made short work of Chu and his men.
On his way home Tony met Helicopter pilot James Rhodes - the future armored partner of Tony Stark called War Machine - and returned to America. After he arrived, Tony worked to improve the Iron Man armor and made Iron Man Tony Starks personal bodyguard to disguise his identity. In his early years Tony Stark became the corporate sponsor of the superhero group the Avengers and as Iron Man help found the group with Thor, Ant-Man, the Wasp, and the Hulk. Notable villains from these early days include Mandarin, Hawkeye, and the Black Widow. | | | |

 Okay, but some annoying problems related to printing Dec 18, 2007
By Allen G. Cecil
Boy, talk about Stealth Armor (i.e. Stealth product). I'm a big Iron Man fan (have almost every issue published), and I was not even aware that this product was out. I do not know who is handling the advertising for it, but they are not doing a good job. I knew that Avengers, Captain America, etc. similar products were out there and they were more visible in terms of advertising, but did not see a peep about this one. I found it quite by accident when I did a search on Amazon. I figured Marvel would eventually release this one (especially since the IM movie is coming out next year), but I guess they are using "stealth" advertising for this one ; )
Anyway, the product ships in a big box containing a DVD. Not much else. It is okay (has most all the Iron Man & Tales of Suspense stuff. The issues are complete - even containing the Ads, and more importantly, the Captain America portions in the later Tales of Suspense issues. Kind of a bonus since I liked the early Cap America stuff too.
The only real issues I have with this product are:
1) The scanning resolution is not that great. Even at over 100% it barely fills the screen on my computer (I am using 1400 x 1050 resolution). You have to set the doc to over 100% in Acrobat Reader to get a decent size at which to read everything. This kind of tells me that the probably did not use a good resolution in scanning. However, it is acceptable. I just generally prefer higher resolution scans of stuff.
2) The Marvel watermark appears on every single printed page. And it is not subtle. It is relatively noticeable. This annoys the heck out of me. However, this only appears on printed pages, not when you read it in Acrobat Reader.
3) There is a single solid black page prefacing every issue. Not a big deal really, but you need to start printing from page 2 to avoid getting a solid black screen of nothing printed out (of course it has the Marvel watermark on it also).
4) I wish they would have given an option or included a set of special or second copy scan issues that would permit you to printout the full comic as a comic. In other words, If you print out to 11x17 both sides, you could approximate a printout of the comic such that when folded properly and stapled in the middle you actually get the comic with the pages in the correct sequence. This would be nice because it would allow me to print out the few issues I am missing in my collection to act as placeholders until I was able to buy them like, oh TOS 39 for instance ; ). This of course is not a problem with the product, but it would have been a nice feature request.

 The Invincible Iron Man: The Complete Collection Nov 24, 2007
By S. Clark
If you can get this collection do not hesitate. I am really glad I found these products before it was too late. Because Marvel is going to rent there digital comics on there website they did not renew the contract with GIT corp and after the end of the year, no more will be made.

Awesome Collection! Dec 14, 2007
By A. Buchta
The almost complete collection of Iron Man comics published from his first appearance in Tales Of Suspense #39 back in 1963 through last December, 2006. 43 years worth of Iron Man comics! It's almost too good to be true. But then there's that big "almost" I put in my first sentence.
GIT just missed perfection with this one. Similar to their Avengers DVD-Rom (other reviewers have pointed out that the six issues of Giant-Sized Avengers which had story continuations from the main series were not included on that disc), GIT missed one issue here. They did put the one issue of Giant-Sized Iron Man on this disc, but it was only a reprint issue containing three stories already on the disc from their original TOS comics. What they left out this time, quite inadvertently, I'm sure, was Iron Man and Sub-Mariner #1.
This issue was a one-shot that bridged the gap between TOS #99 and Iron Man #1. Only in the seventies could you buy a #1 issue of a comic and come in on the middle of a storyline! But that's exactly what Marvel did back then. The storyline that was running in TOS was continued into IM & SM #1 and then into IM #1. I'm sure that the folks at GIT weren't even aware of the issue and that's why it was left out. Luckily, Marvel has that issue on their website in their digital comics archive, so when you get to that point on this disc, you can read that one story there.
So, in closing, getting over 500 issues of comics, spanning 43 years, for a price like this, even with the one exception, is well worth it.

An invincible collection just in time for the movie! Apr 13, 2008
By Sean Hoade
GIT really did a fine job with these comic collections. Too bad Marvel is now going totally online and won't let anyone have the actual comics in hand anymore. *sigh* Oh, well -- but if you can get it used (or from GIT), go for it. It's definitely worth the money!

Best product for comic lovers ever Mar 09, 2008
By R. Terrell
Complete run, easy to use. Love, love, love this product. Shame on you Marvel for cancelling the contract with the company that produces these. I have been collecting comics for 30 years and have a massive collection, but this product was awesome for new readers that wanted to read entire collections. Unfortunately, Marvel pulled the plug, so planned collections for Thor, Daredevil and others may never see the light of day. At least we got a few before they got greedy. Snap them up from Amazon while you can, there won't be any more made!
