Free to read · restored edition by comicbooks.com · Issue details →
In "Photo Finish," Plastic Man sets out to snap pictures of the notorious crooks Trigger Wheel and Slug Baxter, but his plans go awry when his partner Woozy burns through all the film chasing shots of a charming switchboard operator. The chaos unfolds in a classic 1952 dose of humor, with the usual antics of a hero whose best-laid plans are derailed by distraction and mischievous timing.
When a wealthy man begs Plastic Man to protect his child from kidnappers, the hero takes the job seriously—until a tiny crook in a child’s disguise turns the tables. With his signature elasticity and a dash of humor, Plastic Man finds himself outwitted by a kid who’s all grown up in mischief.
