PLASTIC MAN Volume 7

Collects #27-30, 1951.

Jack Cole hitting his stride on the Plastic Man book, with more outrageous stories and inspired art. Even his gangland adversaries begin to match Plas, himself, in sheer zaniness, villains including Froggy Fink, underworld killer; Serena Sloop, defender of poor misguided crooks; Slinky, Slimy, and Slippery Slade, the elusive criminal brothers who lead Plas and Woozy on a gay nineties adventure; Elmer Body the body-possessing nobody; Fargo Freddie, the volcanic man; a trip to Coroner's Corners where everyone is crazy, and more!There was NOTHING that Plastic Man could not do with his body -- Jack Cole took this unique superhero and explored wild, funny, bizarre stories. Cole loved to pit Plas against bad girls and there are no lack of them here, beautiful but with only trouble brewing for Plas and Woozy. The horror era of comics was starting during this string of issues, and you can see horror themes start to come aboard. Jack Cole, OMG, at his best. Also art by John Spranger, Alex Kotzy (Apartment 3-G) and Gill (Torchy) Fox!!
