Plastic Man Archives #5

"Plastic Man Protects Crookdom?" is a standout entry in the Plastic Man Archives series, showcasing the original creator Jack Cole at the height of his inventive flair. When Professor Carlon’s experiment goes awry and transforms Sheila into a granite monster, Plastic Man must track her down and administer the antidote—before the city’s most notorious crooks become the real victims of chaos. With Jack Cole handling every aspect of the interior art and storytelling, and his distinctive pencil and ink work defining the striking cover, this 2003 issue offers a rare, self-contained showcase of the character’s origins in their purest, most idiosyncratic form.
