Police Comics #99
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free# Police Comics #99 An anthology issue featuring two main stories: In "Plastic Man Pulls the Stitches Out of Needles Noggle's Seamy Career," the hero faces off against the criminal Needles Noggle, who boasts he can sew Plastic Man up in his own shroud and challenges the hero over a newspaper article. Plastic Man investigates Needles' operations at a produce warehouse, ultimately thwarting the villain's plans. The second story, "The Spirit" by Will Eisner, follows a murder investigation where witness testimony becomes complicated; a note suggesting the District Attorney's key witness Frankie Green was murdered by Jordan's hired gunmen creates confusion, but further investigation reveals the handwriting proves to be a forgery and that Manhunter may be the true culprit.
When a self-styled "criminal genius" named Needles Noggle rolls into town boasting about his needle-based schemes, Plastic Man and his sidekick Woozy Winks quickly discover that the crook's unconventional tactics—hidden needles, a needle gun, and clever traps—make him a surprisingly slippery adversary. As Noggle escalates from art theft to robbing the Last National Bank, Plastic Man must find a way to outthink an opponent whose sharp tricks keep catching him off guard. Can the Man of Plastic bend his way around Needles' ingenious (and dangerous) methods before the criminal strikes again?
When a murder witness turns up dead with a note blaming Manhunter [Dan Richards] for the killing, patrolman Dan finds himself assigned to arrest his own alter ego—a task that forces him to play both sides of the law to uncover the real killer. With his faithful bloodhound Thor on the scent and a frame-up that threatens to expose everything, Dan must outwit his own captain while proving Manhunter's innocence before it's too late.
