IRON MEN

Alternate Title: THE IRON MAN; FALL GUY

REH completed the first version of "Iron Men" (draft a) in March or April 1929. That version was sent to FIGHT STORIES and apparently considered too long.
Two successive drafts (drafts b & c) condensed the story. Draft c was eventually submitted to FIGHT STORIES, but the published version was heavily edited.
