We're back with another Metal (Men) Monday, Groove-ophiles! This one really rocks! Our robotic heroes battle Eclipso, plus we get tons of cool backstory on our villain--all by the major talents of Martin Pasko and Walter Simonson! From Metal Men #49 (September 1976)..."The Dark God Cometh"!
This is Simonson's last ish as interior artist (he still has a few covers comin'), and does he ever cut loose! From here, comicdom would see an evolution in Simonson's work, as he pretty much focused on storytelling and layouts for the next couple of years. Who could fill his Chemo-sized shoes as artist? Find out next Metal Monday, baby!

Metal Mondays: "Who Is Bruce Gordon and Why Is He Doing Those Terrible Things to Himself?" by Conway, Pasko, and Simonson
Greetings, Groove-ophiles! We're back with another magnificent Metal Men masterpiece, plotted by Gerry Conway, scripted by Martin Pasko, and illustrated by Walt Simonson! This time out, our robotic heroes go up against Silver Age hero/villain Eclipso. That means tons of metallic action against one ka-razee villain! From Metal Men #48 (July, 1976) we ask..."Who Is Bruce Gordon and Why Is He Doing Those Terrible Things to Himself?"
