You gonna keep rubbing that one in my face, eh? :frustrated:

 

That's a lab cover that I "need" too.

Is there a scene anything like it in the Plastic man story?

It's G Fox, not Cole, right? (Maybe that's the discssion -- I didn't read back very far.)

Not exactly. There is the Jeckyl/Hyde mad scientist thing goin' on (and surgical scene), but the closest thing to a laboratory I found in this issue of Police was relegated to the Spirit origin story (taken from the first newspaper "comic book" appearance). hm

 

Note: I checked my microfiche of this issue; no slab was harmed in the completion of this production. (thumbs u

I couldn't find any labratory scenes either, but heres a couple of test tube scenes that sort of relate. (on a side note, this story is two issues before Woozy's first appearance...... and look at that guys shirt and face. hm )

Mike, these pages are brilliant. :applause: Nice to see more from the 'Plas meets the Golden Age Splash Brannigan' story. Can't help thinking about it that way, now the idea's burned in. (shrug)

Cole's stories often contained both light and dark moments. Aside from his astonishing artistic skill, it was his ability to effortlessly shift the mood of a story which made me realise I was reading something very special.

this is the earliest example of Cole i could find (at least i think this is Cole). From Funny Pages #12 (Sept '37)

That is one old cartoon HC. It reminds me of Dr. Suess for some reason :)
