Tales of Suspense #39 - The Birth of Iron Man, signed by Stan Lee
In March 1963, in an America torn between technological dreams and Cold War fears, Marvel was introducing a new kind of hero: a brilliant and troubled man, an industrialist with a wounded heart and shining armor. This is how Tony Stark made his entrance into pop culture, within the pages of Tales of Suspense #39.
That issue represents much more than just a first appearance: it is the birth certificate of Iron Man, an icon who would revolutionize the very concept of the superhero, fusing genius and vulnerability, steel and consciousness.
