IRON MAN #209-214 (1986-1987): 1st Seekers, Dominic Fortune Jr


A whole lotta fill-ins. First, Iron Man meets Jack “Werewolf by Night” Russell and Mockingbird, and they take on Morgan Le Fey.

Then there’s a one-issue Happy Hogan solo story with Spymaster.

Issue #211 brings us Living Laser.

I think it’s the first 616 story drawn by Alex Saviuk. The only significant thing here is Rhodey wearing the gold-and-red armor again.



Issues #212-213 are a two-issue tale of Dominic Fortune.

His son becomes the “all-new” Dominic Fortune. Basically, that’s just DF Junior.

He’s the old man’s son. Do you care? Probably not.

And we end with issue #214 about the Secret Wars Spider Woman, Julia Carpenter, a character who never really amounted to anything. Hawkeye appears as well.

Henry Gyrich and Valerie Cooper want her.

It’s the first appearance of The Seekers, a trio of minor villains who usually appear together so I’ve group tagged them.

None of these stories matter.  They’re not bad, just forgettable and bland.
