Job Number: X-411
Disclose Notes: Some Iron Man stories which appeared in Fantastic were reprinted in a different order to the original published sequence. This created a problem for the editors, because Tony Stark changed his armor in the (already-reprinted) Tales of Suspense #48 to the familiar red and gold version. In order to avoid confusion for British readers, Iron Man's armor was redrawn in Fantastic #15-20 to resemble the newer model; A new text box at the end of this episode tells readers that the plot against Stark thickens and that they should read on - "next ish!"
