PLASTIC MAN ARCHIVES Vol 1
By Jack Cole. Cover by Alex Toth, foreword by Will Eisner!
At last, one of the very finest strips of the 1940s: innovative, funny,
wild, with spectacular art and wonderful stories that are as readable now
as 50 years ago. Readable stories, not the typical clunky and clichéd
Golden Age comics. These are funny and adventurous, fast moving and beautifully
drawn. Here is a motherlode of superb tales, the first 20 Plas stories
from Police #1-20. When criminal Eel O'Brien was doused with a strange
chemical, he became a man of plastic, able to assume disguises (and hilarious
ones, at that) and warp his body to any imaginable form. But always tongue-in-cheek,
Cole offers slapstick tales unlike any other Golden Age superhero. This
collection is long overdue and, like the Shazam Archives, may sell out.
"Why am I so enthusiastic? Because I've collected Police and Plastic Man
for 30 years!" -Bud.
Here's what Will Eisner says: "Hilariously funny combination between
a super hero and a detective...a masterpiece of innovation...Jack [Cole]
employed ingenious art in hysterical situations...one of the great unsung
geniuses of comic-book history." 1999 Eisner Award-winner for best archival
collection and Harvey Award-winner for best domestic reprint. DC, 1998.
