Gene Colan's atmospheric storytelling reaches its peak in this classic confrontation between Iron Man and his arch-nemesis.

Archie Goodwin's scripting delivers another chapter in the ongoing Iron Man-Mandarin rivalry, with the villain's ten rings of power providing the perfect foil for Tony Stark's technology-based heroics. This issue represents the golden era of Iron Man comics, when the creative team was firing on all cylinders and establishing the character's enduring mythology. The Mandarin storyline from this period remains one of the character's most celebrated runs.
