“Soliloquy in Silence” Script by Bob Layton. Pencils by John Romita Jr. Inks by Harry Candelario. Cover by John Romita Jr. and Bob Layton. Once again Iron Man returns to the decaying space station that Stark Enterprises put into orbit several months ago! A chemical research company recently approached Tony with a method for neutralizing the deadly bacteria that A.I.M. introduced into the station (in Iron Man 215)! The armored avenger liked the idea and agreed to fly the new chemical reagents to the station! However he wasn’t counting on unexploded ordnance going off while he was there! And suddenly the golden avenger finds himself trapped under tons of wreckage and running low on power and oxygen! Shell-Head may have wanted his name written in the stars someday… but not like this! Cameo appearances by Jim Rhodes and Mrs. Arbogast. (Notes: John Romita Jr. returns to the Iron Man title and pencils ten of the next eleven issues.
