Police Comics #98

A lively Quality Comics gem from February 1950, this issue of Police Comics puts Plastic Man front and center — quite literally — as his elastic limbs coil and snap around a pair of startled crooks on a mansion's front steps, stars flying from the impact. Up on the porch, a large grinning figure and a dark-haired man tussle while a small, striped-suited villain scrambles for an exit, making for a wonderfully chaotic scene rendered with Jack Cole's signature kinetic energy. The cover teases a story involving one "Yesterday Yore and his shapely daughter Yolanda," and with a title like "Mystery Manor," there's clearly no shortage of colorful characters waiting inside.
