Plastic Man #22
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Plague of Plastic People," Plastic Man tracks a bank robbery gone wrong, only to find the culprit has vanished—leaving behind a trail of strange, malleable bodies. With help from Woozy Winks and F.B.I. Chief Branner, he hunts down the gang, but when Mugs Merkle escapes, he reunites with his old partner, "Pitch" Penny, whose experimental plasticizer turns ordinary people into living, contorting figures like Plastic Man himself.
On Dopi Island, Woozy Winks seeks a quiet escape from his usual crime-fighting duties—only to find himself plunged into a royal crisis. With the island’s people furious at their extravagant king, and a plot brewing to assassinate him unless he returns stolen funds by Saturday, the timing couldn’t be worse. When the king’s advisors spot a startling resemblance between Woozy and their monarch, they hatch a plan: make the hapless hero stand in as king—just long enough to be killed, so they can keep the king’s fortune.
In "The City Was Starving on a Full Stomach!", Plastic Man and Woozy Winks find themselves caught in a bizarre scheme when the notorious Sycko Case exploits the city's scales to manipulate public perception—making everyone believe they're starving, even as their pantries overflow with stolen breakfast cereal. With F.B.I. Chief Branner on the case and henchmen Hogan and Harris scrambling to keep the ruse going, the real test of wits begins as the duo tries to uncover the truth behind the twisted weight-based deception.
