“The Hand That Shocks the Cradle Rules the World!”

The cover by Jim Aparo throws you straight into the chaos, with a bespectacled, blonde figure reeling from a violent explosion while a black-suited villain charges forward and the Metal Men — their liquid metallic forms twisting and splattering in every direction — are caught in the mayhem. Disembodied robotic faces streak through the air amid bursts of energy, all anchored by the ominous tagline "Beware — The Brain Children!" This 1977 DC issue, written by Martin Pasko with interior art by Joe Staton, promises a wild, offbeat adventure that shows the Metal Men at their most gloriously strange.
