TALES OF SUSPENSE #84-86 (1966-1967): Iron Man

Tony Stark is about ready to pull a big “I am Iron Man “ reveal when he has a heart attack. To help him, people rip open his shirt and find his armored pacemaker.  So newspapers begin to figure out that Tony and Iron Man are never in the same place at the same time.

Happy Hogan throws some armor on to protect his boss’ secret.

He digs wearing the armor.

Mandarin is convinced Happy is the real hero, so he nabs Happy Iron Man.

This means his armor is gone and Tony has to make a new one to fight Mandarin.

And this time, it’s the version we’ll be seeing for a long time. Although we won’t be seeing quite as many ear switches…

…But thankfully, the roller skates come back.

Oh, and, in case you were wondering, he rescues Happy.

This is weird.
