Police Comics #61

Police Comics #61 from December 1946 delivers exactly what the cover promises: Plastic Man, resplendent in his red-and-yellow costume and signature goggles, has stretched his arms into makeshift cages trapping three hapless crooks — one dangling upside-down between his legs for good measure. Jack Cole's cover art captures the gleeful absurdity that made Plastic Man such a standout, and with 60 pages packed in for just a dime, this issue is a genuine bargain from Quality Comics' golden run.
