Police Comics #78

From Quality Comics' long-running anthology comes this May 1948 issue promising that "Plastic Man and Woozy have a hot time in Dreamland!" — and the cover by Jack Cole delivers exactly that energy. Cole's signature rubber-limbed hero has stretched himself into a massive net or tarp, held taut by a swarm of tiny uniformed figures below, all while a building blazes above and a hat tumbles through the smoky air. It's the kind of wonderfully absurd, kinetically drawn scene that made Cole's work on this series so distinctly its own thing, and "The Dictator of Dreams" sounds like a story that earns every bit of that wild setup.
