Metamorpho #2

Metamorpho, "The World's Most Fantastic Hero," is in full elemental action on this October 1965 cover by Ramona Fradon and Charles Paris — transforming himself into a living torpedo to blast through churning underwater chaos and carry the blonde Sapphire to safety, while a sinister submarine and skull-faced threats loom all around them. A second panel captures the breathless aftermath, with Metamorpho's startlingly inhuman face watching over Sapphire as she gasps for air, the cover text urging him to shift his fabulous body yet again. It's a wonderfully kinetic snapshot of DC's strangest hero, with Bob Haney writing and Fradon's expressive linework bringing every bizarre, watery moment to vivid life.
