I loved Plastic Man in the old Batman comics and in his own books, and Plastic Sam was unique in that it was one of the funniest Mad parodies yet still remained true to the original in a way that Mad's other victims couldn't claim.

 Plastic Man #1
In but a few sentences and lots of exposition, Baker explained Plastic Man's history for new readers, returned the character to his detective roots and started a storyline that'll keep us hooked for long.
Baker's Plastic Man's work, unlike many comic books, could be used straight up as a storyboard for a cartoon series without much changes.
Plastic Man #1 is probably the best new comic of 2003, and it comes closest to capturing the manic and wildly inventive spirit of the Golden Age Plastic Man comics created by Jack Cole for Quality Comics.

 The Popular Imagination -- Jack Cole and Plastic Man
From all reasonable accounts, Cole was good-humored, and possessed the wherewithal to endure the long hours and short respect of the early comic book industry, perhaps evident by his ingenious creation Plastic Man, a criminal who reforms when a chemical spill makes his body rubber.
However, Spiegelman also demonstrates Cole was a man at odds with himself, brewing an internal conflict that would eventually prove too much a burden to live with.
Two of the most welcome pieces in the book are written by Cole: the first, an essay published in Boy's Life detailing his coast to coast bike ride as a teenager, and the second, a brief letter to Hefner, where Cole tells the publisher he's going to commit suicide.

Given that Plastic Man has become the comedy relief of the JLA, not to mention the sort of whacked-out style that was the Jack Cole Plastic Man, a humorous interpretation of the character seems not only natural but probably the only way to go with the character.
Baker is definitely playing around with the weird and nearly unlimited potential of Plastic Man's powers that some writers have picked up on, showing him using his powers to change shape in more subtle as well as drastic ways and even be in more than one place at a time.
Maybe that's the problem, not that Plastic Man is something of a lightweight comic, but that my expectations were sort of edgy Baker fare and instead I'm getting a comic that could be placed without much risk next to Powerpuff Girls and Archie on the shelves.
