Iron Man in Dilli

“SUPERHEROES IN NEW YORK? GIVE ME A BREAK!”, that’s what Stan Lee, the creator of the whole ‘league’, questions and returns to his game of chess. You know what I am talking about. Yes, the famous dialogue from the climax frame of the movie Avengers. Stan Lee, teamed up with various artists and created all these characters (starting in early 1940’s) and brought in the trend of Superheroes! Now we all watch them in Hollywood films but, as with most of the fictional characters, they were first printed as comic books. With advancing technology and increasing media the print media quite lost its pace but in the heart of comic book lovers, they are still the BEST!

Iron Man, one of Stan Lee’s characters, is among the most loved of all – especially due to the very recent Robert Downey’s personal touch to it. And, I am a big fan, I admit. I always wondered why NOT Tony Stark comes to Delhi and why the creators even didn’t attempt something like that. Well, after loads of researches, bhaag duad and effort, finally I found something from the archives of Comic studios!

Yes! It was attempted. An attempt was made to convince the creators to think upon bringing Iron Man to Delhi. Though, sadly the proposal was given by some jackass and thus it was thrown into trash. Still, I managed to grab copy of some parts of the comic book which was sent as the proposal. 

Presenting the NEVER told story of IRON MAN IN DILLI, especially for the readers of Panwadi Tales!!!

And, shhh… my ‘research’ is still on! I will try to bring more ‘abandoned’ comic strips as soon as get hold of them.


Till then a decent tribute to Stan Lee and all his artists.

The author is a big fan of all the characters and really wish we could have them here, custom-made for us only! Fingers crossed! :)
