“The Iron Messiah!”

In "The Iron Messiah!", cyberneticist John Kweli returns to his African homeland to confront an oil company's brutal campaign to displace his people from their ancestral land. With faith and science, he fuses ancient myth and modern technology to forge a metallic avatar of the god Chuma—only to discover the creation begins to think, feel, and act in ways no one could have predicted. Written by Len Wein and Joe Orlando, with dynamic art by Jim Aparo and a striking cover by Neal Adams, this 1971 DC classic blends mysticism and futurism in a story that’s as thought-provoking as it is unforgettable.

Cyberneticist John Kweli returns from America to his African home to find his people harassed by the armed force of an oil company to get them to move off their ancestral land, under which are vast pools of oil. To rally his dispirited people, Kweli creates a metalic, cybernetic incarnation of the god Chuma... that exhibits human characteristics in a most unexpected way.
