What came first? The Iron man song or comic?

Did the black sabbath song come out before the comic/cartoon of iron man..? Or was the song based off of the comic?

Iron Man first appeared as the lead feature in “Tales of Suspense” back in 1962. Black Sabbath recorded “Iron Man” in 1960. There is no relationship between the comic and the cartoon (there was a rather primitive Iron Man cartoon as early as 1966) and the song. The British musicians had no idea there was an American comic book character called Iron Man when they recorded a song with the same name.

The term “Iron Man” goes back many decades and means someone who has great tenacity and carries on against great odds, or someone who lasts a long time in a highly competitive environment. Lou Gehrig, for example, was known as “the Iron Man of baseball,” before he was forced to retire because of a debilitating disease. It was natural that an often used phrase came to be selected as both a name for a comic book hero and one of the first heavy metal songs.
