The mysterious outer-space element of "K-Metal" along with the phrases, "I'll never give 'em the secret of the k-metal!" and "You will be compelled to yield the secret of the metal that energizes!" appear in the novella, The Copper-Clad World, by Harl Vincent; published in the September, 1931 issue of Astounding Stories magazine:

Jerry Siegel was nearly 17 years old when this issue hit the stands.
