Iron Man #271 1991

In Iron Man #271, James Rhodes, as Iron Man, faces a formidable challenge against the ancient dragon Fin Fang Foom. While Tony Stark awakens to discover Rhodey has taken his place in battle, the Mandarin and Chen Hsu observe, plotting their own schemes. Rhodey initially buries the monstrous Foom, but the dragon later re-emerges, overpowering Iron Man. This issue is notable as the second part of the significant "Dragon Seed Saga" storyline and features a cameo by Black Widow.
