Tales of Suspense #16
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Thing Called Metallo!, Part One," a fugitive in a radiation-proof suit goes on a desperate crime spree after discovering its power—only to face a grim choice when he learns the suit is the only thing keeping him alive. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Jack Kirby and inks by Dick Ayers, this 1961 issue delivers a tense, early tale of survival and desperation. The cover by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers captures the suit’s eerie, metallic menace perfectly.
John Larson laughs off his friend Dunstan Kromm’s claim that a nightmare could last forever—only to wake up moments later, trapped in the same conversation, reliving the same fatal drive. What begins as a casual argument spirals into a chilling loop where reality and dread blur, and escape seems impossible.
