So, Dark, what's with the comic book? Well, it seems this 1964 issue of Metal Men (#7) was the inspiration for Captain Beefheart's improvised lyrics to "Metal Man Has Won His Wings"... at least that's how the story goes. If you've been to a Doctor Dark concert recently, where "Metal Man" was performed, perhaps you saw a copy fly off the stage into the hands of a lucky audience member. Yes folks, these are the real McCoy and real collectors items -- authentic vintage #7 Metal Men comics from 1964! Obviously, these gems are in limited supply, but stay alert the next time you're at a show and maybe you, too, could be a lucky recipient! |
