Plastic Man Special #1

Plastic Man crashes the JLA's reputation in this 1999 DC 48-page special, and the cover sets the tone perfectly — a grinning, rubbery Plas stretches front and center while a horrified Superman tries desperately to wave readers away, with Aquaman, Batman, and Martian Manhunter tumbling in the chaos behind him. The speech bubble warns that reading this book "will RUIN the reputation of the JLA," which tells you everything you need to know about the gleeful irreverence writer and cover artist Ty Templeton brings to the proceedings. It's a wonderfully silly package, with Aaron Lopresti handling interior art duties on the "Plastic Fantastic" story within.
