Plastic Man #20
In "Sadly-Sadly," the bizarre and tragic figure of Sadly-Sadly Sanders—whose very face could make anyone weep—turns his sorrowful gift to crime, preying on the weak-hearted. But when Plastic Man uncovers his secret, he sets out to break the man’s despair with a single, unexpected laugh. Written by Joe Millard and brought to life with expressive, dynamic art by Jack Cole—both on interior pages and on the cover—this 1949 Quality Comics classic blends pathos and humor in a story that’s as surprising as it is memorable.
In "Sadly-Sadly," the melancholy face of Sadly-Sadly Sanders triggers uncontrollable weeping in anyone who sees him—so much so that he’s turned his tragic visage into a criminal advantage. When Plastic Man steps in, he doesn’t rely on force, but on a single, perfectly timed laugh to turn the tide.
