Since I studied the Cold War, I always found interesting how did it affect comics for a long time (and it still does, when don't we see a Russian trying to bring back his country to the old days of communism?), specially with Iron Man, who, representing human technological progress would obviously find himself representing America in a conflict in which both countries constantly tried to show they were more technologically progressed than the rival.

It's a nice review.
