In this case, they must have used one of the panels from the original story   |

Now that's about as pointless a change as you can get: nothing wrong with Sal Buscema's new cover but it's so similar to the original why bother? Especially since interior artist Colan did the original cover

When I look at the Sal Buscema cover , It looks more modern to me than the Colan cover. I suspect that most of those reprint mags were trying to appeal to a newer audience.

In the original cover, Iron Man is pretty much at the mercy of The Crusher. In the Buscema cover there is some tension; can IM reach the Kirby gun in time? Tho I'm not sure why IM needs a gun. I thought he could shoot some kind of rays out of his gloves.

I thought he could shoot some kind of rays out of his gloves. The gun fired a "centrifugal force ray" which increased the Crusher's weight, causing him to fall towards the centre of the Earth, which was the only way Iron Man could defeat him. Yes, really. |

And while we're at it, let's see what Marvel put on the cover when they reprinted this issue's Captain America tale in Marvel Double Feature #15:  I'm think that the smoke/foam/energy/whatever directly above the bottom blurb actually serves to emphasize the "crotch-shottiness" of this cover, but I can't help but think it was intended to do the opposite. Not one of Gil Kane's most elegant covers, for sure. |
