Why You Should Read Demon In A Bottle
This is a major turning point in Tony Stark’s life. It gave him more human qualities than ever before. It also foreshadows his relapse years later, where he eventually loses his company and sees his friend James Rhodes donning the Iron Man armour in his place.Stark would later regain everything he had lost following a pivotal confrontation with another rival, Obadiah Stane, in issue #200.
Even though it isn’t the first time that Marvel approached the topic of addiction (Peter Parker’s roommate Harry Osborne’s drug addiction was a plot point in the Amazing Spider-Man #96-98), it was the first time that such an issue was approved by the Comics Code Authority, which was the industry’s regulating authority until 2011.It brought the problem of alcoholism to the mainstream and made more readers realize that no one is immune to the issue.
Demon
In A Bottle showed how addiction affected both Stark in his daily life
and as a superhero, as well of the lives of his friends and fellow
heroes. It also gave addicts hope that they could overcome their demons
just as Stark did.
