Because sometimes you just have to post a panel of Tony Stark in his underwear.

"Fair and balanced"—that's what all the comics blogosphere critics call yours little stuffed truly. Because sure, I did post a panel of Aurora in her underwear on Monday. But of course, I'm well aware that's not everybody's cup of tea. So, in the interest of giving equal time, I now present...the tighty-whiteys of Tony Stark!:

Iron Man #79
Panel from Iron Man #79 (October 1975), script by Mike Friedrich, pencils by George Tuska, inks by Vince Colletta, colors by Al Wenzel, letters by Dave Hunt:


And since Tony gets uniformed for action two panels later, that answers the question you're wondering—just like Brooke Shields—what gets between a man and his iron armor (with plenty of nose room)? Answer: nothing but his Calvins.

  1. There was some 4th wall type stuff about how awful the nose was. It was intended to make him more menacing, if you can believe that!

  2. Confirmed -- Even fully clothed, Hal Jordan's butt is MUCH nicer than Tony Stark's!

    Thanks for the help, Bully! ;-)

  3. Vinnie Colletta was well known for drawing women in their underwear but men, not so much.

  4. Of course, if I had written the story, the next panel would have a caption like "Fifteen minutes later" and Iron Man would still be locked in the room, but I'm a smart aleck that way.
