This piece kicks some major buttocks. That one places in my top ten favorite commissions. The problem being there are 25 in my top ten. I was never that good with math.

Please no obvious jokes about body proportions.  It'll get negative.

Just enjoy.  This is great.

Did anyone see Kyle Baker's work on Plastic Man recently? It was interesting stuff that got away from the character as portrayed in JLA as Wacky-Go-Silly Man. It wasn't Cole, but I felt that Baker's work on Plastic Man was entertaining and am very sad that the sales weren't up to snuff on a geniunely funny all-ages book.

EXACTLY!!!

See, I love Jack Cole's Plastic Man, and I hate the way DC has always handled (mishandled?) the character. DC treats Plastic Man as a joke, when in his own comics by Cole, he was actually the straight man. As you put it, "everything else is crazy" in his world.

How come so many writers miss this fact? Have none of them ever read the original comics?

Of course, Plastic Man, like the original Captain Marvel, never really should have been intregrated with the regular DC Universe to begin with, in my opinion.

I liked the stories by Martin Pasko/Joe Staton & Bob Smith from Adventure Comics (1980).

(and there was too Dial H for Hero by Marv Wolfman & Carmine Infantino in this comicbook. Another favorite of mine)

What a GREAT piece!  I used to watch the Plastic Man show every Saturday morning growing up.  He was probably one of the first superheros I ever really liked.

This piece is another example of how JB is the best at drawing characters that stretch!

I got the Jack-in-the-box theme running in my head now. Thanks JB. This made my day.

IMHO: I've seen some great Plastic Man drawings (Toth and JB for example), but the ONLY person that has ever written the character successfully is Jack Cole.

The image “http://www.top100comics.de/images_comics/plastic_man.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

PS If you haven't seen Cole's Playboy work, you're missin' out! :)

Neat!  I especially like the color version.

I loved Ramona Fradon's first, brief run on Plastic Man.
