Plastic Man Special

    (DC, 1999)
™ and © DC Comics

In the glorious tradition of DC Comics one-shots comes “38-pages of flexible fun” starring the JLA’s most popular second-string hero, Plastic Man (and his portly sidekick Woozy Winks). For readers unfamiliar with the character, this special is designed as a Cliff Notes-type resource, made up of three independent short stories.

Plastic Fantastic throws readers right into the middle of a typical “Plas” adventure. Typical, that is, for the super-hero equivalent to Three’s Company. The Secreted Origin of Woozy Winks provides readers with not only an origin story for the red, white and yellow hero himself, but also for his chubby, fashion challenged sidekick (who used to be one of the government’s most deadly agents). Lastly, The Age of Crisis on Infinite Clones Saga starring Plastic Man Red and Plastic Man Blue is just an excuse for writer Ty Templeton to go hog wild and poke fun at some of the most outrageous comic conventions incorporated by the industry’s Big Three publishers. An arena perfect for the Man of India Rubber.
