Metamorpho #3

Metamorpho the Element Man is literally falling apart — and things are about to get worse. The cover by Ramona Fradon and Charles Paris captures Rex Mason's patchwork elemental body scattered in pieces across the ground while a menacing robot with a wild, toothy grin — "Laughing Boy" — closes in, its lancing lasers having done their damage. Bob Haney's story, "Who Stole the U.S.A.?," promises the kind of gleefully offbeat adventure that made DC's 1965 lineup so much fun, and this issue delivers the setup with an irresistible mix of peril and dark comedy.
