Metal Men #35

The Metal Men find themselves outmatched on this January 1968 cover, where the team — including a silvery Tina at center — scrambles desperately before a massive, looming dark creature amid roiling flames, their fragmented speech bubbles crying out that they can't stop "this thing" from getting her. Mike Sekowsky's pencils and Dick Giordano's inks give the scene a kinetic urgency, with the robots' elemental forms twisting and straining against an overwhelming threat. "Danger — Doom Dummies" promises the kind of high-stakes robot-team action that made Metal Men one of DC's most engaging series of the era.
