A somewhat obscure comic book super hero is given top billing in a volume that contains a definitive look at the character and enemies.

Rex (Metamorpho) Mason can transform himself into any element found in the human body due to being exposed to a radioactive meteorite. Utilizing a combination of science and the mysteries surrounding the ancient Egyptian Sun god, Ra, the Element Man battles for truth in Sci Fi-orientated story lines.

The more than 500 pages include the Dyna-man's first appearance - The Brave and the Bold #57, January 1965 - and issues #58, #66 and #68 of that comic book, the seventeen-issue ongoing series from 1965-1968 and guest spot in an issue of the Justice League of America, though the story line ends when he declines to join the organization.

Though it oftentimes is an over-the-top parody of more established super hero stars, the book is a great look at a character when the thirst for discovery in science was a national sensation.

Similar to the marvels essentials , big books in black and white format. This volume include:
METAMORPHO 1 -17 - 1965 to 1968
THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD 57,58,66,68 -1965 TO 1966
JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA 42- 1966

I love Metamorpho I discovered him when I bought a Justice League Europe comic. He is unique and he has a cool story. It is a shame he is not well known.
