Police Comics #64

Jack Cole's cover for this March 1947 Quality Comics issue says it all: Plastic Man has stretched his own legs into a living bow, launching an arrow straight into a bull's-eye target strapped to a fleeing crook, while his stout, polka-dotted pal hauls back on the makeshift bowstring with everything he's got. The tagline "Plastic Man Scores a Bull's-Eye on Crime!" perfectly captures the gleeful, rubbery absurdity that made this series such a delight, and at 60 pages for a dime, issue #64 offers a genuinely generous helping of Cole's one-of-a-kind imagination.
