Metamorpho #8

DC's "Fab Freak of 1000-and-1 Changes" faces a vivid, kinetic threat on this 1966 cover by Sal Trapani and Charles Paris — a massive purple Cobalt Hand dominates the composition, firing energy beams as a red-and-yellow armored villain (Doc Dread) advances with a ray gun, while Metamorpho himself tumbles helplessly in its grip. The cover blurb asks whether that mighty Cobalt Hand can finally stop the Element Man's deadliest foe, making it clear writer Bob Haney has cooked up a formidable challenge for Rex Mason. If you're a fan of Silver Age DC at its most imaginatively offbeat, "Element Man, Public Enemy!" promises exactly the kind of wild, anything-goes adventure the title did so well.
