- The Mysterious Mr. Doll! - Iron Man gets his new, modern-looking red and gold armor designed by Steve Ditko. Mister Doll was originally named Mister Pain, a change noticeable in the lettering and confirmed in Essential Iron Man (Marvel, 2000 series) #1. It was presumably changed to meet the restrictions of the Comics Code. (Note added by Haydn via the GCD Error Tracker.) Job number revealed on original art. Info per Nick Caputo.
- The Pact - Text story with illustration.
- Kraddak - This is a retelling of "The Man Who Fell!" drawn by Paul Reinman in Strange Tales (Marvel, 1951 series) #85 (June 1961).
