Today\u2019s post features the first issue of Metal Men<\/em> produced by the creative team of writer Martin Pasko and artist Walt Simonson without any input from the title\u2019s prior writer\/editor, Gerry Conway.\u00a0 Alas, it\u2019s also the last<\/em> such issue, since Simonson would only be contributing cover art going forward.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll have more to say about the series\u2019 pending changing of the guard towards the end of the post; for now, however, let\u2019s focus on the comic at hand, starting with its cover \u2014 a typically dynamic and high-impact effort from Simonson, though the blurb above the title logo might have given some regular readers pause.\u00a0 \u201cYou are cordially invited to witness the destruction of the\u2026 Metal Men\u201d?\u00a0 So what else is new?\u00a0 The Metal Men get destroyed every<\/em> issue\u2026 or at least that\u2019s how it seems sometimes.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Setting aside that exceedingly minor quibble, let\u2019s move on to the opening splash page, where we find our storytellers picking up the threads of their two-parter right where\u00a0issue #48<\/a> left off:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dr. Will Magnus\u2019s mental health issues go all the back to the last couple of issues of the title\u2019s original 1960s run, which had seen him kidnapped and brainwashed by the hostile (and fictional) nation of Karnia. Though more or less \u201ccured\u201d by the end of the first issue of the present revival<\/a>, the maker of the Metal Men is still clearly facing challenges, as shown here via his making confused callbacks to Chemo (an old foe whom the robot team most recently fought in issue #46) and the Plutonium Man (their adversary in both #45 and #47) before landing on the villain of the moment \u2014 i.e., Eclipso.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The three human females presently in jeopardy are Doc Magnus\u2019 therapist, Isobel Sullivan; Isobel\u2019s roommate, Johanna Rome; and Mona Bennet, the fianc\u00e9e of Eclipso\u2019s alter ego, Dr. Bruce Gordon.\u00a0 Perhaps it\u2019s simply Eclipso\u2019s hatred for his non-villainous other self that\u2019s driving his pursuit of all three women\u2026 or perhaps, as Platinum\u2019s dialogue appears to portend, there\u2019s a bit more to it than that.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In previous posts, we\u2019ve noted how Walt Simonson\u2019s interest in using typography as a design element often finds expression in his art.\u00a0 Ben Oda may be the letterer of record for this issue, but it seems likely that Simonson offered some guidance in regards to how sound effects (as well as other specially-highlighted words) should look on the page.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ah, OK.\u00a0 The women are supposed to be sacrifices<\/em>.\u00a0 Got it now.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026 beats sucking doughnuts and whistling\u201d?\u00a0 Kudos to Martin Pasko for having coined such a memorable phrase (I\u2019m assuming it\u2019s original with Pasko, since if it\u2019s ever appeared anywhere else, Google doesn\u2019t know about it).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Umbra\u2019s origin story, with its \u201cstrange and horrible creatures<\/strong> from out of the depths of space<\/strong>\u201d seems to nod both to the \u201cCthulhu Mythos\u201d stories of early-20th century pulp writer H.P. Lovecraft and to the \u201cancient astronauts\u201d hypothesis popularized by Erich von D\u00e4niken\u2019s 1968 book Chariots of the Gods?<\/em> \u2014 the latter of which was of course also serving as a primary inspiration for Jack Kirby\u2019s Eternals<\/em> series at Marvel Comics, around this same time.<\/p>\n

Continuing with his very helpful exposition, Bruce Gordon explains how he, in becoming Eclipso, had inadvertently also become the new servant of Umbra; he goes on to speculate how, not having been raised in the local religion, Eclipso needed the parchment he stole in West Germany to tell him how to release the evil space-god.\u00a0 At that very moment, Gold discovers a copy of that same parchment; luckily, this one\u2019s text isn\u2019t in the glyphic language of the original, but has been translated into Spanish, which Doc Magnus may be able to read\u2026 though, given his currently addled state, it\u2019s kind of a dicey proposition\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another hallmark of Walt Simonson\u2019s graphic approach over the decades has been his readiness to draw upon the artistic styles of historical cultures.\u00a0 A year before this<\/a>, we\u2019d seen him utilize ancient Egyptian motifs to build out the visual milieu of Doctor Fate; here, in the design of Umbra and his \u201cbrethren\u201d, we see the influence of pre-Columbian indigenous American art.\u00a0 (The best-known example of this predilection of the artist would of course follow some seven years after this, when he\u2019d add authentic Norse design elements to the Asgardian realms that Jack Kirby had imagined for Marvel Comics\u2019 Thor<\/em>.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Metal Men quickly form themselves into a slingshot, the better to lob a huge boulder right at Umbra\u2019s kisser \u2014 but it proves to be a futile gesture, alas\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure whether to credit Pasko or Simonson (or both), but the use of sound effects on this page exemplifies our storytellers\u2019 determination not to take themselves too seriously.\u00a0 (And I\u2019m not just talking about the Rice Krispies reference; I mean, who has ever heard something actually go \u201csluice\u201d?)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Even as Iron hurries to complete his task, Umbra\u2019s jewel is recharging itself.\u00a0 Finally, the Metal Men\u2019s resident strongman\u2019s work is done, and the \u201csubmarine\u201d is free to flee the deep\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the first full-page splash we\u2019ve had since the story\u2019s opening page, and it\u2019s a stunner; comprised mostly of wholly imaginary elements, it\u2019s almost too much to take in all at once.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And that\u2019s that.\u00a0 As we noted earlier in the post, this was Walt Simonson\u2019s swan song as the story artist for this series; according to the account given by the artist himself for Modern Masters Volume Eight: Walter Simonson<\/em> (TwoMorrows, 2006)<\/a>, he was simply \u201cburned out\u201d on the assignment:<\/p>\n

\n

I\u2019d done five issues in about a year \u2014 it was a bi-monthly book.\u00a0 I had three different writers.\u00a0 We were getting very wonky with it with the typography and little subtitles and all sorts of weird stuff, which was fun but exhausting.\u00a0 But I had a good time.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Fifty years later, one may regret that we couldn\u2019t have more of Walt Simonson\u2019s Metal Men<\/em>, while still being grateful for what we got.\u00a0 And you can hardly say that he and Martin Pasko didn\u2019t end their collaboration on a high note with \u201cThe Dark God Cometh!\u201d, which remains a highly entertaining comics reading experience.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Interestingly, despite what the \u201cNext\u201d blurb\u00a0 at the bottom of this issue\u2019s last page says, the 50th issue of Metal Men<\/em> would not<\/em>, in fact, chronicle a tale of Doc Magnus\u2019 heroic band being \u201cup for grabs\u201d.\u00a0 Rather, the bulk of the issue would be given over to a highly edited reprint of \u201cThe Day Doc Turned Robot!\u201d, as originally presented by Robert Kanigher, Ross Andru, and Mike Esposito in Metal Men<\/em> #6 (Feb.-Mar., 1964).\u00a0 As a note on the issue\u2019s letters page apologetically explained, \u201cour overworked writer, Marty Pasko\u201d had fallen prey to \u201cthe Dreaded Deadline Doom\u201d (a statement that offers proof, if any be needed, that though someone at Marvel Comics may have coined the term, the House of Ideas wasn\u2019t the only comics publisher where the \u201cDDD\u201d was a problem in the 1970s).<\/p>\n

Not that the issue was all<\/em> reprint.\u00a0 Along with another excellent cover by Simonson, Metal Men<\/em> #50 also featured a 3 1\/2-page framing sequence by Pasko and the series\u2019 new regular illustrator, Joe Staton \u2014 an artist with a very different style from his predecessor, to be sure, but one that fit the title\u2019s unique sensibility equally well in its own way.\u00a0 But that\u2019s a discussion worthy of its own post \u2014 one that I hope you\u2019ll join me for, just a few months from now.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
