Description
A great and memorable cover by Bob Layton introducing the first real specialty armor, the Space Armor. I always liked the sleek and uncluttered nature of this cover; it felt almost iconic at the time.

Yes, it's a exceptional combination of a large central figure in a singular pose set off against a complementary and detailed background to give off an almost 3D effect.

IM covers 126, 131, 132, 142, 144, and 150 are the reason I got into and am into comics. I am wildly jealous right now. Congrats!

I remember this issue very well. When I saw the image I was instantly hooked and grabbed the issue and couldn't get to the register quick enough to pay for it so I could see what was inside. I loved all the specialty armors. Fantsatic cover!

SUCH a great cover! I'm seriously thinking about having Bob make a commission piece with tat Space Armor...it's just that cool. Hell of a cover!

You have such a great collection of Iron Man art! Loved the JR JR/Layton run - was a monthly pick up at 7-11 for me, at least until i got my subscription. Good memories:-)

Brett Breeding, not Layton, is the inker. LMK if you want to know the backstory on this one.

Potentially my favorite piece of yours (that you've posted ; )

I think it makes the clear statement that you should be able to spot a Bob Layton cover from outer space!  I loved this cover when it hit the stands as well.  Bob is a tremendous draftsman.
