Police Comics #83
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The King of Crime," a clash of cultures unfolds when the hillbillies of the local swimming hole are told they can no longer swim in the nude—only their vintage bathing suits, meant to be a source of pride, now seem scandalous to the city visitors. Written, drawn, and inked by Bernard Dibble, this 1948 tale captures the humor and tension of tradition meeting modernity, with Jack Cole’s striking cover art perfectly framing the absurdity.
Plastic Man pursues the elusive crime boss Slugsy Dowan while reluctantly assigned to guard King Blog of Negosia—a royal visit that takes a sinister turn when Slugsy hatches a scheme to kidnap the king and assume the throne himself. With the underworld's most dangerous operator plotting an international incident, Plastic Man must outmaneuver both the mob and their audacious plan before Slugsy crowns himself in crime.
In a quiet 1948 tale from *Police Comics #83*, the hillbillies face a dilemma when city folk start using their beloved swimming hole—requiring them to stop swimming in the nude. Their old-fashioned bathing costumes, once perfectly normal, now seem wildly out of place to the newcomers, sparking a clash of rural tradition and urban expectation.
