Plastic Man #8

The cover of this February 1968 DC issue says it all — a red-and-yellow-clad figure is being stretched in every direction by four men pulling at his limbs, while his enormously elongated face fills the bottom of the image, protesting "YOWW! I tell you, I'm not Plastic Man! I never even heard of him! What's a Plastic Man?" It's a wonderfully absurd premise rendered with gleeful energy by Jack Sparling, whose cover work here captures everything that makes the character so uniquely fun. Writer Arnold Drake and Sparling's interior story, "The Unforgettable Wot's-Iz-Name!," promises more of the same rubbery humor and madcap adventure.
