Jon Berk CollectionPlastic Man was originally a property of Quality Comics, which was bought out by DC in the 50s, bringing the character into the new publisher’s universe through the current day. More of an underground success than a big name throughout his career, Plastic Man was nonetheless a very original and groundbreaking hero for his time. Employing humor into his adventures, Plas laid the groundwork for other wisecracking heroes like Deadpool to quip and jape in their features. The origin story herein tells the tale of one Patrick “Eel” O’Brian, whose life of crime is cut short by a betrayal and a bullet, after being doused with a mysterious chemical, he awakens in a monastery with newfound powers, the ability to stretch and mold himself into veritably any shape he chooses, and lo, the first stretchy superhero is born, influencing a variety of other similarly supple copycats. The additional first appearance of the cult sensation Phantom Lady in this historic issue only adds to the overall magnetism of this sleeper hit of the Golden Age.
