straight-faced superhero to its absolute limits. Pitted against an equally
odd and colorful group of foes and paired with the indescribably strange
sidekick Woozy Winks in the pages of Quality Publishing's Police Comics,

his era.]

continues with a new volume of the award-winning series featuring everyone’s
favorite pliable hero! PLASTIC MAN ARCHIVES Volume Four is a 216-page hardcover
written and illustrated by the legendary Jack Cole who really hits his stride
in this era as Plas and Woozy’s hijinks become even more outrageous!
The silliness begins with a mysterious murder in Woozy’s boarding house
and moves on to Woozy being hired as a store detective to foil (with the
help of Plas) a tsunami of shoplifting. Then the diabolical Dr. Dratt and
his “illuminating gas” give the daffy duo a run for their money.
Next, Plas and Woozy assist a nutty professor in establishing a claim to
a radium mine in the Arctic. If that weren’t enough, our heroes also
investigate the murder at The Home for the Aged (though in Cole’s hands,
it’s more of an asylum), assist millionaire Cyrus Van Rooten in settling
an old score with a tribe of Indians, get mixed up in a mystery in a maniacal
medical school, and visit Futura, a city of the future that’s still
plagued by crime! And that’s not all! Reprinting POLICE COMICS #40-49
and PLASTIC MAN #3 (1945-46), this volume features a half-dozen more adventures,
including the first Woozy Winks solo story and an unusual Plastic Man prose
story. Plus, an introduction by renowned European comics historian Andreas
Knigge!]

Art Spiegelman & Chip Kidd, Jack Cole and Plastic Man
(San Francisco: Chronicle Books, 2000). [From Chronicle
Books: For years Jack Cole labored dutifully as a cartoonist, comic
book illustrator, and Playboy's premier artist. He was, on the outside,
a mild-mannered and easygoing guy. But one look at his most famous creation
- the manic, surreal Plastic Man - and there is no question that much more
lurked in the mind of this tragic artist than anyone suspected. Pulitzer
Prize-winning writer and cartoonist Art Spiegelman and renowned graphic
designer Chip Kidd pay homage to Plastic Man and his creator Jack Cole.
With exuberant energy, extraordinary flexibility, and bizarre plot twists,
Jack Cole strected Plastic Man beyond the traditional limits of the comic
book form.]
