Iron Man Story -"Death Duel for the Life of Happy Hogan!"In the previous issue, Happy Hogan was kidnapped by the Mandarin and interrogated, since the Mandarin thought that he was Iron Man. However, just as Happy was about to be killed, the real Iron Man stepped into the room, ready to confront the Mandarin and save his friend.

He's spotted by some scientists, but takes them out then keeps sneaking around. Despite his best efforts, Captain America is attacked by a...
