1931: "'K-Metal" and "The Secret of the K-metal"

« on: Yesterday at 09:17:33 PM »

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.

"The bottom line involves choices. Neither gods nor humans have ever stood calmly in a minefield forever. Good or evil, they are bound to choose. And when they do, you will see the truth of all that motivates us. As a thinking being, you have the obligation to choose. If the fate of all mankind were in your hands, what would your decision be? As a writer and an artist, I've drawn my answer." - Jack Kirby
