Episode 2 - Early Days (AKA How to Be A Superhero)

Hello, all! Thanks for checking out EPISODE 2 of this little series of mine. In this installment, we'll look at the first few adventures featuring our hero and how he gets on attempting to juggle his three distinct identities as a socialite, as an engineer/civilian contractor for the military, and as the newly-minted super-hero known as Iron Man - complete with the first major armor redesign - as well as his ill-guided attempt to keep all three identities separate from one another. No pressure, right?

** Issues covered: Tales of Suspense Nos. 40, 41, & 42
