Plastic Man #3

The third chapter of DC's four-issue Plastic Man mini-series takes the stretchy hero to the beach, and Hilary Barta's cover makes the most of it — Plastic Man gleefully rides a massive wave on a surfboard, his elastic grin as wide as the Pacific, while hapless bystanders scramble and tumble across the sand below. With the title "California Schemin'," the sunny tropical setting and delightful chaos on display promise the kind of irreverent, good-natured comedy that makes this 1989 series such a treat. The Foglio, Barta, Nyberg, and Rice team clearly had a blast bringing Plas to the West Coast.
