Tony Stark Shot!

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008 – running time 03:24
Here's one Iron Man issue Josh remembers from way back in 1989.

Did you remember that Tony Stark got shot and paralyzed by a crazy, jealous girlfriend? This was one of the issues that made a young Josh really impressed with what can happen in superhero comics, when the threats aren't what you'd expect. There's no fighting in this one, just a lot of thought balloons. Does it hold up?
