Plastic Man: On the Lam

Kyle Baker’s 2004 one-shot for DC reimagines the stretchy, goofy hero in a madcap noir caper, blending slapstick with a taut crime plot. As the sole writer and artist, Baker brings his signature kinetic cartooning and deadpan humor to a story that plays Plastic Man’s elastic absurdity against a gritty underworld. A brief, self-contained gem that showcases Baker’s singular voice and the character’s potential for stylish, offbeat storytelling.
