“The Coming of the Controller!” (20 pages), written by Archie Goodwin and illustrated by George Tuska and Johnny Craig — Basil Sandhurst debuts as the Controller, a new villain wielding mind control technology to enslave others. When the Controller sets his sights on Iron Man himself, Tony Stark must battle both the physical threat and the psychological assault on his will. Pepper Potts and Happy Hogan are caught in the crossfire as the Controller's enslaving devices threaten to turn Stark's closest allies against him.
The Controller's first appearance establishes a villain who would return to plague Iron Man throughout the Bronze Age, making this a key issue for collectors following the rogues gallery development.
