Direct Edition. "Man of the Year" Based upon on a story by Fred Schiller. Script by Ken McDonald. Pencils by Mark Beachum. Inks by Bob Wiacek. Cover by Bob Wiacek. The Iron Man of 2020 (aka Arno Stark) is coming to the 20th century! And he's desperately searching for a 12-year old boy! Why? Because this boy will grow into a deadly terrorist and attempt to detonate a nuclear bomb at Stark Enterprises many years later! When the 21st century Shell-head arrives in New York City (circa 1986), he finds the boy in the middle of a battle between the web-slinger and Blizzard! Arno quickly blows away Blizzard and grabs the youth! Victory appears imminent for the futuristic golden avenger! However the boy is under the protection of the wondrous wall-crawler! And that means the Invincible Iron Man and the Amazing Spider-Man are going to throw down in the streets of Manhattan! Wow, beating the present-day Iron Man would be a tall order...much less the one from 2020! Good luck Spidey! Cameo appearances by Mary Jane Watson, Joe Robertson, and J. Jonah Jameson. (Notes: The Iron Man of 2020 first appeared in the 1984 Machine Man Limited Series. Spider-Man wears his black costume in this annual.) 52 pages. Cover price $1.25.
