Metal Men #8
In "The Playground of Terror!", the Metal Men entertain kids at a fair, but Tina notices a lonely, blind boy named Timmy who won’t join in. When Timmy’s mother shares her hope that future science might cure his blindness, the team takes him on a surprise rocket ride—only for cosmic turbulence to strand them on a desolate planet where a haunted amusement park hides deadly, robot-controlled attractions. Written by Robert Kanigher and brought to life by Ross Andru’s dynamic art and Mike Esposito’s inks, with Gaspar Saladino’s crisp lettering, this 1964 DC classic blends heartfelt moments with eerie sci-fi adventure. The cover, also by Andru and Esposito, captures the unsettling charm of the alien playground.
In "The Playground of Terror!", the Metal Men entertain children at a fair when Tina notices a lonely, blind boy named Timmy. When Timmy joins their adventure, a sudden cosmic storm strands the team on a haunted planet where a derelict amusement park hides malevolent robot attractions that once turned on their creators.
