If you've only ever seen obviously wonderful artists like Gil Kane, Jim Aparo or Joe Staton do Plastic Man, well, it's lucky that DC's Special Series did a whole book of the original strip back in the Bronze Age.
Creator Jack Cole's amazing artwork on Plas is astoundingly ahead of it's time, even now, and though you can see nods to Will Eisner ( who Cole worked with ) it's utterly unique.
Which is not to say people didn't try to copy it. Pretty much all of the early Mad's owe a debt to Cole's visual humour and let's-shove-as-many-gags-into-the-background-as-possible 'chicken-fat' stylings, and if you squint, you can see Harvey Kurtzman & Will Elder taking notes.
Just as one example, spot the panel where Plas stretches through the middle of a canoodling couple, moving so fast that the girl's lipstick is imprinted on his body.
Over the years, there've been various attempts to do Plas in animation. There's really no need, is there?
