Metamorpho #4

Ramona Fradon and Charles Paris deliver a wonderfully wild cover for this 1966 DC gem, showing Metamorpho literally reshaping himself — his disembodied head rolling along the ground while his body transforms into a massive green mass, with the bold "CRACK" sound effect splitting the scene. Armed riflemen close in from below as two bound, wide-eyed captives look on, and a second Metamorpho figure appears ready to spring into action in the upper corner, all beneath the gleeful tagline "Viva el Metamorpho!" Bob Haney's story, "The Awesome Escapades of the Abominable Playboy," promises the kind of cheerfully absurd adventure that made the Element Man one of Silver Age DC's most delightfully offbeat heroes.
