“The Dinosaur Who Stayed for Dinner!”

DC's "most appetizing robots in the world" return in Metal Men #18 (1966), featuring the wonderfully absurd story title "The Dinosaur Who Stayed for Dinner!" The cover by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito captures the chaos perfectly: a massive mechanical dinosaur with glowing red eyes lunges forward, jaws open wide, while Tina — the platinum Metal Man — sweeps a man to safety along a giant golden structure, her expression a mix of alarm and determination. It's a prime slice of Silver Age DC energy, with Robert Kanigher's signature blend of sci-fi menace and robot heart on full display.
