In "Plastic Man's Rubber Armor!!!", a gruff soldier named Dewey takes a stand during a rare leave, vowing to teach a lesson to the next sailor he sees—only to find himself facing a surprisingly tough WAVE who matches his attitude with equal grit. Written, drawn, and inked by Bernard Dibble, this 1944 entry from Police Comics #33 captures a moment of unexpected tension and humor in wartime, with Al Bryant's cover art capturing the clash in bold, dynamic style.

Plastic Man pursues thieves who've snatched a top-secret radio-controlled fighter plane model from an F.B.I. conference—but a clever decoy sends him chasing the wrong aircraft while the real prize falls into the hands of the Hood and his gang.

Manhunter uncovers a deadly insurance scheme when a man's body is discovered in an explosion at a cleaning establishment—but the inquest reveals the real cause of death is poison, not accident. Following the trail to a cunning criminal and his conspirators, Manhunter must navigate a web of blackmail, betrayal, and murder to expose the true story behind the corpse of mistaken identity.

He Really Crashes the Party
8 pp · Superhero

When criminals kidnap Roy Lincoln to steal his formula for a sugar-free soft drink, they don't realize their captive is actually the Human Bomb—a scientific genius whose chemical-enhanced fists pack the destructive force of dynamite. A blow to the head leaves him with amnesia just as his partner Hustace Throckmorton arrives to help, setting the stage for plenty of explosive chaos as the Human Bomb tears through the crooks' hideout. This 1944 tale serves up equal parts wartime ingenuity and bone-rattling action as our hero crashes the criminals' plans—whether he remembers who he is or not.
