*DC: In Brave & Bold’s 57th issue, DC ‘piloted’ a hero quite unlike any other. Adventurer Rex Mason was exposed to an ancient artefact in a tomb and gained the power to transform his entire body, or parts thereof, into any chemical element – but at the cost of his own human appearance, becoming disfigured. The combination of implicit pathos and broad-strokes comedy, generated by writer Bob Haney’s depiction of the supporting cast and artist Ramona Fradon’s sleek, almost animation-style artwork, set the series apart from anything else, and Metamorpho quickly gained his own series. Sadly, it didn’t last, as replacement artists lost the uniqueness, but Metamorpho himself has been a mainstay of the DC Universe ever since. This copy of Rex’s premiere is a sparkling VF-, tight & bright with only a hint of wear at the very top cover edge. A cents copy, no pence price or overstamp, on sale at £120. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
