About this Collection

This first volume of the Plastic Man Archives collects the earliest adventures of the shape-shifting hero, reprinting his debut stories from Police Comics #1-20 and his first solo feature in Plastic Man #1. These golden-age tales, originally published by Quality Comics, showcase Jack Cole's inventive blend of slapstick humor and crime-fighting as the elastic ex-convict bends his way through a series of wild, imaginative capers. The hardcover archive edition preserves the original comic pages in a high-quality, black-and-white format, offering a definitive look at the character's formative years.

Plas had been deferred from civil service during the war because Captain Murphey needed him more on the home front. However, President Roosevelt requisitions Plas's services for the FBI, confirmed by a telephone call, which meant Plas would work for the government on counter-espionage.
