Thanks for the kind words BuraddoRun.
The search for additional pages has run dry for me at this point. I've spoken with Alan Kupperberg (before his passing, RIP) and Al Gordon, and beaten down every door I can think of over the decades.
I've ended up with 15 of the 18 panel pages, and am also missing the splash.
To answer your question directly, for some reason, Iron Man's sad soliloquy on the final page really resonated with my younger mind. The drama to me was intense. Later in life when I stumbled upon 'comic art' I somehow ended up with that very page right away, and the hunt was on!
Simply could not believe it. Somewhere in the very early 2000's I wrote a nice (my opinion ) article on this passion of mine in the CFA-APA.
Regardless - I'll keep my eyes peeled for you on any of those pages that you are looking for as I keep ringing the bell once a year.
If anyone has one of these last four pages, please allow me to make an offer to you - I promise you these are meaningful to me and my offer will reflect that
Best to all for health
