When I handed Jones the above cover I expected a Wonder Woman sketch, but then he said "Can I use both sides?"

I replied yes and his Plasticman stretched across the cover...from the look on his face, I could tell Jones enjoyed this little diversion from his usual convention commissions...

Plasticman debuted in Quality Comics in 1941, the creation of Jack Cole. DC would acquire the rights that would bring him into the DC Universe as a recurring character in Batman: The Brave and the Bold...

In 1960 DC brought in another character of similar abilities called Elongated Man, created by John Broome and Carmine Infantino
