Metal Men #43

The cover by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito says it all: the Metal Men — Doc, Tina, Mercury, Gold, Lead, Iron, and Tin — are scrambling in apparent chaos, their detached heads scattered on the ground while the towering chemical giant Chemo looms behind them, one massive hand reaching forward menacingly. The cover caption warns that Chemo has returned as "the only complete chemical menace," and a desperate speech bubble makes the stakes clear: without their heads, the team is doomed. Robert Kanigher's 1973 series was never short on wild, imaginative peril, and this issue looks like a genuinely delightful entry in that tradition.
