Jarvis is real, In Iron Man #127 by David Michelinie, John Romita, and Bob Layton, an internal quarrel was reflected within the creative team of Marvel Universe and unknown to the readers. Someone guessed the rift that exists between the company and its artists. An artist, Dave Cockrum was embarrassed publicly as he disagreed with Marvel’s culture and other employees in the most hysterical way.
In this particular issue, Iron Man #127, Avenger began to descend to his lowest point. Tony winds up and heads towards the destruction of self. Tony’s near and dear ones saw the change in his behavior. They gave him space so that he could get back to normal. However, his trustworthy man Jarvis tries to protect Tony from his destructive views. Tony rebuked his well-wisher, Jarvis for his mild suggestion. He put the weight of his anger on Jarvis.
Jarvis’s resignation
Jarvis wrote a persuasive letter of resignation to Iron Man. In the letter, he blamed himself for Tony’s recent outburst of emotions. He tells Iron Man that he will not let Tony mistreat and insult him. However, the resignation letter was the letter of Dave Cockrum, a writer of the Marvel Comics. He wrote a resignation letter and detailed his experience of working in the Marvel Comics. He was unhappy with the work culture in the Marvel Universe.
The letter that Dave sent as his resignation to the Marvel Studios was copied and used as Jarvis’ resignation letter when he finally decided to leave Tony’s employment. The issue later became extremely important as it resulted in Iron Man #128. In Demon in a Bottle, Tony struggled with alcoholism and was challenged by his inner demons. He then realized what he has done to himself all this while. He battled his addiction and fought to bring back his sense of identity.
Tony lost Jarvis as Marvels lost Dave
However, Dave still works for Marvels as a freelancer. But his career as a permanent employee of the studios ended with his official resignation. So, Jarvis’ sentiments in Iron Man #127, were Dave’s feelings when he was working for the Marvels. We can say that just like Tony lost his best part in Jarvis so did Marvels as it lost Dave.
