Marvel first collected Iron Man 120-128 in The Power of Iron Man, which includes the acclaimed Demon In A Bottle storyline as well as developments that would ultimately lead to Armor Wars, in a trade paperback that was released in 1984. The 160-page volume featured fantastic cover art by Bill Sienkiewicz and brought these amazing stories to life on high-quality paper stock with clean lines and bright colors that were a big improvement from the quality of the originally published comics. I bought this volume off the shelf at The Million Year Picnic in Cambridge, MA in 1984 and just like The Phoenix Saga, I’ve read it so many times over the years that the pages are falling out!

Marvel collected the four-issue Hawkeye Limited Series (1983) in a trade paperback that was first published in 1988. This edition featured new front and back cover art by Mark Gruenwald and Brett Breeding along with a great foreword by Gruenwald about his affinity for Hawkeye and the process of writing and drawing the series. Having just read it again, it’s a really fun series that stands the test of time as a story that is as important and definitive in its own way for Clint Barton as Chris Claremont and Frank Miller’s Wolverine Limited Series (1982) was for Logan.
