Thanks for posting, Gerry. I was a big fan of the Invaders, as it combined two of my favorite hobbies: World War II history and superhero comics.
I'd love to see an Essential Invaders collection.

When I was a kid, and Iron Man looked like Iron Man, he was my favorite Marvel character. I thought he was so cool.
However, I have not felt that way about him for a very long time...

Man, looking at all of these great covers, many of which I picked up in the 70s, only serves to underscore how Marvel has really f**ked up this character. After what they did to him in AVENGERS (a traitor and a murderer who worked with Kang since the Avengers inception), and now one of the driving forces behind CIVIL WAR, it's hard for me to look at him and think "hero". They've made him into a conniving, backstabbing, corporate hack instead of the interesting multi-millionaire inventor and scientist. Sad. I haven't picked up an Iron Man book in ages and there's something inherently wrong with that.

Matt I'm in agreement 100%. The last time I can recall actually reading any issues of Iron Man was the Byrne/ Romita Jr. Armor Wars 2 storyline & maybe the Byrne/Ryan Mandarin/Fin Fang Foom story after that. It seems like, for me at least, we haven't seen the "real" Iron Man since the early-mid 1990's.

Everyone join me in a good cry for our poor lost friend Iron Man.
Honestly, I haven't been truly happy with Iron Man since Len Kaminski left the title back in 1995. Rumor has it Kaminski left because he refused to be a part of the upcoming Kang/traitor storyline, and I can't say I blame him. Anyone with the slightest notion of who the character of Tony Stark is would know how horrible an idea that storyline was right from the inception.
Beyond that, Kurt Busiek and Roger Stern were the last people to write a decent Iron Man, and even then it didn't quite hit all the right notes. But that was many years ago. Since then, successive writers have continually written terrible stories, until the character that became my favorite almost 25 years ago exists only as a memory.
Every so often, I consider pitching my own ideas for Iron Man to Marvel, but they don't seem to be interested in publishing stories about the same character that I'd want to write about.

Damn, Jack Kirby sure could draw the shit out of some Captain America, couldn't he?
I guess that should be surprising, though, since he created the character!
