Review/plot:
George Tuska pops back in for a visit in this convergence story where we follow threads involving some escaped criminals...
...a woman leaving her boyfriend and the ghetto...
...and Iron Man's encounter with an alien robot scout.
The robot claims to be an emissary looking to set up a trading colony, and he's put off by Iron Man's repulsors-first attitude...
...and later falls in love with the girl and takes some bullets for her.
An off beat but enjoyable story.

Comments
Points for attempting something different but it was too compressed and contrived to be effective. Particularly a metal skinned alien who can't take a bullet. And that girl fell in love with the metal guy awfully darn quick.
I think the appendix or somewhere tried to speculate this metal alien was of the same caliber as Marvex, a golden age hero with Timely.
