Pulitzer-Prize winning writer and illustrator Art Spiegelman pays homage to his favourite comic book hero, Plastic Man, and his creator, Jack Cole. With his exuberant energy, preternatural flexibility, charming boyishness, and only partially sublimated sexuality, Plastic Man literally embodied the comic-book form. Though he was introduced in 1941 and produced for only 16 years, Plastic Man has remained a cult classic, and this art-packed book will delight any fan. Our text originated as an essay in The New Yorker and is very well-written. It discusses the life of Plastic Man as well as the life of Jack Cole, which some would argue (including Art Spiegelman himself) are equally interesting. Along with illustrations throughout, three comic books will be printed throughout the book (on comic book paper).

"For years Jack Cole labored dutifully as a cartoonist, comic book illustrator, and Playboy's premier artist. But one look at his most famous creation---the manic, surreal Plastic Man---and there is no question that much more lurked in the mind of this tragic artist than anyone suspected. Pulitzer Prize-winning writer and cartoonist Art Spiegelman and renowned graphic designer Chip Kidd pay homage to Plastic Man and his creator. With exuberant energy, extraordinary flexibility, and bizarre plot twists, Jack Cole stretched Plastic Man beyond the traditional limits of the comic book form." Record # 362840.
