Police Comics #29
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe cover of this April 1944 issue says it all — a pair of startled crooks scrambling in panic think they're laughing at a funhouse distortion mirror, only to realize with dawning horror that they're actually staring at Plastic Man himself, his body comically contorted within the mirror frame, grinning right back at them. Jack Cole's artwork perfectly captures the rubbery hero's signature blend of slapstick and menace, with the two bumbling criminals — one in classic burglar stripes, one in an oversized coat — tumbling over each other in frantic retreat. Police Comics #29 is a wonderful snapshot of Quality Comics at its most inventive and fun.

Dr. Sims has invented a serum that can keep the brain alive and needs but a test subject. Just then, two thugs come in with the body of a bullet-ridden gangster, who dies on the table. When the thugs scatter, the doctor removes the dead gangster's brain, attaches it to his Artificial Circulator, and applies the serum. The brain displays thought patterns and then mentally controls the scientist to murder his gang members who had deserted his body.
