adamstrange Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Thanks for sharing those great pictures! I used to own a Plas 1 a long time ago and it was a fun read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat-Man_America Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 That PM#1 is a real beauty, Doohickamabob! From your scans it's about the best copy of that "Vital" book I've seen; real eye-popping color. Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryw7 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I've shown this picture on the boards before, but it needs to be added here as well. This is my little Jack Cole holding a comic by his namesake. So who else has saddled their children with comic related names? I know there have to be a few Kirbys out there...

Senormac Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Wow , I havn't been to Gold in ages. What a great thread That Plas 1 is sweet Doohick. Page one is a beautiful sight.

Bat-Man Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Those are all great images BB Gun ...and you picked two of my favorite Cole Police covers (25 & 26) to boot! This copy of Silver Streak #7 isn't the Mile High book that I regrettably sold long ago, but it's almost as nice in every way. While there are several GA books in my collection that I like almost as much, this remains my fave, with a spectacular Jack Cole cover and four awesome Cole illustrated stories (38 pages of Daredevil, Silver Streak, Dicky Dean and Pirate Prince)... For Cole fans, it just doesn't get much better than this! Certainly one of the elite covers of the GA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamstrange Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I've not heard of that website before but it looks like some really good information. Thanks for passing it along! (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senormac Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) For those of you, who worshipped Jack Cole, this is the thread for you. I will posting scans of some of my Police and Plastic Man Comics in the next week. though I know, some of you will want to post his other artwork. How about a nice Comet story from Pep Comics #3, March 1940? Note the comet was totally ripped off by the X-Men, but that's besides the point. This is a controversial story in which the Comet gets hypnotized and KILLS police officers! Enjoy guys.... Enjoyed reading this sheild. Although I'm concentrating on Plas right now...... that sure is nice, and where I seem to be headed. (thumbs u I appreciate you taking the time to post all that up Edited January 23, 2011 by Senormac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senormac Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I liked the scan so much, I went out and bought the rest of the book. I love Coles splash pages. Some of the most creative work ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senormac Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 This must be an old thread cuz alot of the pics don't come up anymore. Anyways, there was alot of talk about Police 102 in the early pages (where no pics show anymore) so I thought I would post up my #102 here..... The cover is not signed but looks like Cole to me..... and the insides definately look like Coles work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the most creative work ever Two of my favourite pieces of artwork from Plastic Man Archives Volume 2, the book which made me understand how brilliant a writer / artist he was. Splash page design on par with Eisner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
