“Who Is Bruce Gordon and Why Is He Doing Those Terrible Things to Himself?”

Eclipso looms large and menacing on Walt Simonson's cover for this 1976 DC issue, his angular blue face and sinister grin dominating the composition as the Metal Men — including the rocky Lead, the silvery Mercury, a golden figure, and the white-and-chrome Platinum — are scattered and overwhelmed in his grasp. The cover copy warns that the "Demon of Darkness" is gunning for the Metal Men or the world itself, raising the stakes with satisfying pulpy flair. With Gerry Conway, Martin Pasko, and Walt Simonson sharing writing duties and Simonson handling the art, this issue brings a strong creative lineup to one of DC's most distinctive robot-hero titles.
