The Plastic Man Archives, Vol. 3 (DC
Archive Editions) by Jack Cole
They're Terrific!
PLASTIC MAN ARCHIVES VOL. 3 continues to chronicle the humorous
history of the most imaginative super hero of all time. Able to stretch his
body into any size, shape, or form, Plastic Man goes about fighting crime
in a most unusual but effective manner. Whether bouncing like a super
ball, tying himself in knots, or using his arms as lariats, the pliable hero
never misses a chance to verbally or physically humiliate a foe. Mixing
dark humor with original villains, these stories broke away from
conventional comic book plots and forged a new path for super hero
storytelling.
Personal Review: The Plastic Man Archives, Vol. 3 (DC Archive
Editions) by Jack Cole
Every review of a Plastic Man Archive emphasizes creator Jack Cole's
imaginative and innovative cartooning. That's because he WAS an
imaginative and innovative cartoonist. Plastic Man combined humor, action
and page design in ways never really seen before or since. Carl Barks and

Don Rosa have done something similar with Donald and Scrooge McDuck
as has Jeff Smith with Bone but none of them are as off-the-wall, as
straight out goofy as Plastic Man. The humor in this book, like Plas himself,
can come at you from all angles.
I could go on and on but the nitty gritty is that if you love fun comics, or
are trying to get yourself or even your kids into fun comics, put Plastic Man
at the top of your list.
Here are a few of the adventures that await you within:
POLICE COMICS #31-Is Plastic Man Washed Up? - An evil mastermind,
the Mangler, rakes in the dough by surgically altering 1A military draftees
to 4F status so they don't have to serve. Plastic Man brings him down, but
he escapes and holds Plas' sidekick Woozy Winks hostage unless Plas
gives up crime fighting. A distraught Plastic Man then considers quitting
the super hero life. Meanwhile, Woozy is threatened by the two ton Jaws of
Death!
POLICE COMICS #32-The La Cucaracha Caper-Plas and Woozy take a
well-deserved vacation to sunny, old Mexico. In order to throw off any local
criminals they decide to go in drag. At the same time, four big-city crime
kingpins decide to hold a summit meeting on how to whack Plastic Man in
the same sleepy village Plas and woozy are vacationing in. The crime
bosses decide that they should also travel in drag. Amidst the bustle and
confusion that ensues all the bad guys and both the good guys and an
enraged bull wind up in a coliseum surrounded by angry Mexicans
expecting a good show. How will Plas get out of this one?
POLICE COMICS #33-Death Trap for Plastic Man-A brainy villain called
the Hood discovers that super cold temperatures rend rubber stiff and
brittle and he intends to use this information against Plastic Man. Will he
ice our hero or just frost his butt?
POLICE COMICS #35-The Confession of Froggy Fink-With a villain named
Froggy Fink you know you're gonna get an especially cartoony adventure.
It also features Mona Mayhem, a fiendishly sultry femme fatale who looks
like Marlene Dietrich.
POLICE COMICS #36-Dr. Brann's Health Farm-A gang of thieves and
murderers hide out at a remote health farm, but it's not so healthy for them
after Plastic Man tracks them down. But after living the healthy farm life,
they may just be ready for prison!
POLICE COMICS #37-Love Comes to Woozy-This issue is pretty Wooz-
centric as our man, the Woozster ponders if the lovely legged Felina truly
yearns for him, or if he's just a prawn (yup, prawn) in her game against the
Underworld.

Did I mention the cool, 40's lingo and villains with names like Mopes,
Boxcar and Slick Dandy? Yes if fun's your game, you can't go wrong with
Plastic Man.
