Metamorpho #12

Metamorpho #12 brings DC's "Fab Freak of 1000-and-1 Changes" face-to-face with a towering armored robot marked with the osmium symbol, as the Element Man — his patchwork elemental body contorted mid-impact — takes a shattering hit while a crowd of strange, colorful figures and a blonde woman look on from the background. The cover, penciled by Sal Trapani and inked by Charles Paris, captures that irresistible Silver Age energy: all bold shapes, vivid colors, and a sense of real physical peril. "The Trap of the Test-Tube Terrors!" promises exactly the kind of wildly inventive science-gone-wrong adventure that made Metamorpho one of 1967's most delightfully offbeat corners of the DC universe.
