Police Comics #1 is a highly collectible Golden Age classic for the vital first appearance of Plastic Man — along with Phantom Lady, although Plastic Man was the only character who thrived into the Silver Age and beyond. DC Comics would keep the pliable Plastic Man going after they bought out Quality Comics in the '50s. The company still put more effort into making the Elongated Man a big deal. Take a look at the origin story of Plastic Man (aka "Eel" O'Brien) in this issue, however, and you'll see how this colorful character became beloved as a chatty hero who'd foreshadow the success of Deadpool and Ambush Bug.
The origin story herein tells the tale of how Eel (aka Patrick O'Brien) had his 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 a newfound 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.
