Police Comics #92

Police Comics #92 brings Plastic Man front and center in a wonderfully absurd cover by Jack Cole, where the rubber-limbed hero has literally peeled back the side of a house to expose the crooks scrambling inside — one rotund villain on the upper floor clutches what appears to be stolen loot while a couple of shifty characters below scatter in panic. The cover copy promises that Plastic Man "routs the skeleton from Closets Kennedy's house racket," and Cole's inventive visual gag makes the premise immediately irresistible. A sharp, fun 1949 entry in Quality Comics' long-running anthology series.
