Metamorpho #4

Metamorpho charges forward fist-first on this striking 1993 cover by Graham Nolan, his body a vivid patchwork of orange, purple, white, and brown — a living testament to his elemental nature. Looming in the sepia-toned background are several larger-than-life faces, including a wide-eyed woman and a grinning figure, hinting at the colorful cast surrounding the Element Man. With Mark Waid and Graham Nolan steering "Criminal Element," this fourth issue promises the kind of offbeat superhero storytelling that made Metamorpho such a distinctive corner of the DC Universe.
