“Birthday Cake for a Cannibal Robot!”

In "Birthday Cake for a Cannibal Robot!", the Metal Men attempt to track down Dr. Yes by reassembling his rogue robot using a responsometer—but when the machine turns hostile, the heroes are forced into another battle, only to find themselves no closer to uncovering the villain’s hidden lair. Written by Robert Kanigher and brought to life with bold, dynamic art by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito, this 1966 issue delivers a clever twist on the team’s usual science-fueled missions. The cover by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito captures the chaotic energy of the showdown in vivid detail.
