Police Comics #82

Plastic Man faces a three-way death sentence when the crime boss Mr. Wheels puts out a million-dollar contract on his head, hiring three separate killers to eliminate him in a brutal competition. With his partner Woozy Winks caught in the crossfire and each assassin determined to claim the prize, Plastic Man must outmaneuver all three threats at once while gathering the evidence he needs to bring Mr. Wheels himself to justice. This 1948 adventure tests whether even the stretchiest hero can handle being pulled in three deadly directions simultaneously.

When Patrolman Dan Richards stumbles upon a poisoned victim in a local playground, he's pulled off the force—and given just two days to crack the case as Manhunter before he loses his badge. With his dog Thor's keen nose for the killer's poison-laced weapons, Manhunter races to protect the remaining victims of a mysterious revenge scheme tied to a crooked stock deal. The trail leads him through high-rise apartments and hidden passages to a killer who's far more dangerous—and far smaller—than anyone suspected.
