It’s been over six long decades ever since one of Marvel’s most important characters, Iron Man/Tony Stark, made his debut in Marvel’s comics, spawning generations of fans devoted to the superhero. One of Stan Lee’s greatest characters alongside Thor and Spider-Man, Tony Stark made his very first appearance as a Marvel character inTales of Suspense#39,all the way back in 1963.
The world is currently 20 percent done with the 2020s, however, for Marvel fans, the next year will mark a very important milestone- 60 years of Tony Stark! In efforts to celebrate the 60th anniversary of one of its flagship characters, Marvel will be looking to honor Stark’s superhero persona with a new & exciting comic series.

Marvel’s Iron Man Is 60 Years Old, Here’s How Marvel Plans To Celebrate
Tony Stark’s popularity is quite immense among Marvel fans, being one of the very few characters in Marvel’s lore that is thoroughly loved with and without his suit.
It only made sense that a majority of Marvel fans were pretty disappointed that Kevin Feige approved the green light on doing away with the character played byRobert Downey Jr.at the end ofAvengers: Endgame.
But all things must come to an end, and Marvel fans have to get into this new phase of the MCU, and this time without the character that started it all back in 2008. Catch this though, at least they’ll be getting a sick new five-part limited comic series!
Marvel is pretty aware that Tony Stark is the talk of the town when it comes to the most loved MCU superhero. While they won’t be bringing back Tony Stark in any future MCU installments, they surely have space for him in the comics!

Marvel officially announced that they’ll be releasing a new comic series calledI Am Iron Manin celebration of the 60th anniversary of the character’s creation. The five-part limited series will explore“the greatestbattles” in the character’s history in the new comic series, with Murewa Ayodele set to write and Dotun Akande as the artist.
Ayodele explains what he and Akande plan on going with their creative minds when creatingI Am Iron Man-
“Every issue of I Am Iron Man is set in an iconic era of Iron Man, explores some deep emotional wounds of Tony Stark, is adrenaline-pumping with exciting set pieces, and is rendered in beautiful illustrations by Dotun Akande.”
“It’s the series for Iron Man fans and anyone that has ever wanted to get into Iron Man comics.”
From what he says in the last line, it seems like we’ll be getting a pretty entry-level comic series for everyone to enjoy, hopefully without any compromise in quality!
