generic user Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Cole was really something else (thnx for the interior shots, Senormac). This cross-posted from OOTW - a new pickup today for me, and I just can't resist: Great pickup! That's on my "dream" wish list. Too realistic to put it on my actual wish list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generic user Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I've never had the opportunity to see any of his horror work before, only Plastic Man, specifically the stories reprinted in the first five DC Archive editions. His crime comics were also spectacular ... bb very cool recreation. not sure if I posted these when I got it in, but here's the original splash and nicer panels.

Ken Aldred Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 That reminds me a bit of Alan Moore's 'Splash Brannigan' from 'America's Best Comics'. I noticed there's EC-style lettering on some of the pages. When did that start in the run, Mike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(thumbs u Thanks for posting the splash pages, Mike. I'm enjoying this myself Heres some older Cole. Police 9 .... and Police 11 ..... Wow! Those splashes are awesome! I believe Gil Fox did most of the early PM covers; I'm not a big fan of Fox's covers generally, but the one he did for Police #11 was exceptional. Can't bring myself to liberating slabbed GA books (maybe Plas can seep out around the edges), so I console myself to drooling over the DC Archive editions and microfiche of Plas. BTW, that's a great scan, Senormac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
