Groovy Age Gold: "Oh, Plastic Man!" by Jack Cole

This one's for you, Groove-ophile Keith Donald! I'm sure the rest of y'all hanging out in Groove City will dig this classic Jack Cole Plastic Man masterpiece from Batman #238 (the stunning Super-Spectacular issue from November 1971, don'tcha know!)













"Oh, Plastic Man!" (as close to a title we got on this'sun) was originally published in Police Comics #14 (cover-dated December 1942).

  1. Groove, I am profoundly disappointed that you did not feature a "Sad Sack" on Veteran's Day yesterday.

    As an aside, my news agency had two spinner racks for comics. One seemed to be 100% Harvey, of which Sad Sack seemed to command an entire column. This suggests Sad Sack is America's favorite vet! (Anyone have any notion what % of comic sales Harvey had back in the early-mid 1970s? )

  2. So sorry, but I have no Sad Sack comics to share. I did have some, but where they are now, I do not know. I've scoured the internet for some Sad Sack scans to no avail. Maybe Santa will bring me some Sad Sack comics for Christmas...
