🏆 Polish Award (2003)

In "Plastic Man Goes to Hollywood," the wacky crimefighter takes a bizarre turn when he’s drawn into a murder mystery on the silver screen—literally. When the eccentric H. Dumpty is pushed off a wall, Plastic Man must unravel a scheme involving stolen jewels hidden in tarts, a raven named Edgar Allan Poe, and a villain with a taste for theatrical revenge. Art by Al Bryant brings the absurdity to life, while Jack Cole’s cover captures the story’s zany flair.
