From The Invincible Iron Man #8. Written by Archie Goodwin, drawn by George Tuska, inked by Johnny Craig, and lettered by Artie Simek. Marvel, 1968.

Waiting months for some guy to call seems incredibly, unbelievably far-fetched these days. Considering this is in a comic where a billionaire playboy wears a suit of mechanized armor to fight a guy with buzzsaws attached to his wrists, that's saying something. Thanks, feminism!
