Didn't Stan Goldberg come up with the red and gold colors of Iron Man's "new costume"? I believe it was written about in Alter Ego.
ReplyDeleteHi mikolaj!
ReplyDeleteGoldberg was the colourist, but I don't know if he chose the colours or if it was Lee or Ditko (or even Kirby). If you can find the reference I'll add him to the list.
Now I know what I'm doing this weekend!
