More from Iron Man week! Today's first panels are from Iron Man #198, written by Denny O'Neil, art by Sal Buscema, Akin, and Garvey.

Despite all the troubles with Obadiah Stane, which is about to escalate into outright gang warfare, Tony still associates the red and gold armor with his alcoholism and other assorted personality problems, so he refuses to wear it. Rhodey is having trouble with the "scientific gimmicks" of the suit, and doesn't know why Tony won't take the more advanced model.

Of course, Tony would eventually create new armors, and would wear those without any trouble; but he would never wear this model red and gold again...
