From the Publisher:
Metals have always been among mankind’s most prized resources. In their myriad varieties, used for everything from tools to currency, they have formed the foundations of civilization. But no inanimate object alloy was ever more dedicated to helping humanity than the robotic creations of Dr. Will Magnus — the Metal Men!

The malleable Metal Men — Gold, Iron, Lead, Mercury, Tin and Platinum— take on threats of every nature, learn to combine individual strengths to defeat their often overwhelming foes. Always willing to risk their own destruction to save others, the Metal Men embody the ideals of service and self-sacrifice that define heroism— as well as the foibles that make them all too human.

From Mercury’s hot temper to Tin’s tremendous timidity, the Metal Men’s diverse dispositions span the range of human emotions, fueled by the deft characterizations and innovative imaginations of writer Robert Kanigher and artists Ross Andru and Mike Esposito.
