Plastic Man #6

Plastic Man faces a uniquely embarrassing predicament on this 1967 DC issue, stretched helplessly into the shape of a giant horseshoe magnet and dangled in the air by a villainous figure in purple — all because of a gold good-luck charm in his pocket. The cover by Carmine Infantino and Mike Esposito captures the rubber hero's plight with real wit, while a bespectacled bystander looks on in bewilderment at the mad science of the Mad Mod. As a bonus, the issue packs in two full stories, including "The Sly, Slippery, Slithery Sphinx!" with writing by Arnold Drake and art by Win Mortimer — solid value at twelve cents.
