Iron Man #160 - Jim Starlin cover, Steve Ditko art

Iron Man #160, 1982 - Tony Stark awakens from a nightmare, just as Steve Ditko takes over the pencilling chores from Marie Severin. His style sometimes seems too antiquated for well-established superhero characters, yet his graphic approach also has its moments. Pages two and four are fine examples of Ditko's carefully considered page design. Speaking of which, Jim Starlin's cover is a masterful composition of diagonal elements, marred only by the encroaching typography on the lower right. This is number 4 of 5 Iron Man issues with Starlin art and/or covers and number 1 of 1 Iron Man issues with Ditko art and/or covers. See today's posts or more Starlin, Ditko or Iron Man issues.
