On 250's for The 250th, we pull Iron Man #250 (cover-dated December 1989) off the shelf — "Recurring Knightmare," by the definitive team of David Michelinie and Bob Layton. A sequel to the beloved "Doomquest," it flings Iron Man and Doctor Doom forward to the year 2093, where the wizard Merlin and a young King Arthur draft the armored rivals into a war against a deadly orbital threat — guarded by Andros Stark, a ruthless future Iron Man making his first appearance. It arrives with the book at a creative peak, fresh off "Armor Wars.
