Jack Cole is one of the undisputed masters of the 1940s and 1950s in comics, and ELASTIC MAN (not his real name) is considered one of his greatest characters. ELASTIC MAN, whose real name was Eel O' Brian, a petty criminal and generally bad guy, came to being via the now-cliche' vat of acid – which at the time was pretty original. Able to bend and twist and turn and all sorts of flexible things, his outlook changed by the also-cliche' secluded monks, PLASTIC MAN fought crime and amazed and amused with his sidekick Woozy Winks for 64 issues of his own comic, and in 102 issues of Police Comics. Gwandanaland / Midcentury Comics has the largest and best-quality collection in print!
