Plastic Man Daily Panels!

In this thread I will be sharing 4 panels from a Plastic Man story every day until I can’t any more! From the Golden Age to now, it’ll be bits of Plas throughout history!

Close up of Plastic Man from the cover of Police Comics 1. Not sure who the artist was.

Cover by Dick Dillon & Chuck Cuidera.

Plastic Man #46 (1954). On the cover, a creature known as the Spider (a spider-head on a fury, bluish-gray body), hangs over a cliff side on its webbing while holding Woozy Winks, as Plastic Man reaches out to save his companion.

and when you smile for the camera
i know i'll love you better

it will come back to you

Mixed in throughout the day was a lot of walking and hanging out with a coworker who also went, who was new to cons and was mostly here for the Critical Role cast.
I had a lot of fun, and can’t wait to go to a convention next year, wherever that may be

And finally, I’m all too grateful to meet @danielwarrenart.bsky.social, who not only wrote the Plastic Man story for the recent Zatannic Panic book, but also drew this horrifically awesome cover for it!

Tying it back to Power Girl and Plastic Man, I just had to get this Frank Cho print of the two. Who wouldn’t love it?

I didn’t pick up a lot of art/prints this year, but I HAD to have this excellent @connormakescomics.bsky.social poster of Phantom Of The Paradise, which is one of my favorite movies. I have to highly recommend Connor and his work, he’s a good dude!

Speaking of, Lieber and Al Ewing, their Metamorpho book was my favorite of the last year, and I’m all to pleased to finally pick up the trade as well as getting it signed by both.

Been a big fan of @stevelieberart.bsky.social since Jimmy Olsen, and was all too happy to order the new edition this earlier year. He was a swell guy to meet (as was everyone!), and who had a fun scavenger hunt-type sheet of all the artists who were on the cover that were at the Con.

Speaking of Resurrection, I picked it up at last years’ NYCC and thought it was fantastic, and I was able to pick up an early copy of its sequel Revolution! Not only that, but there was a signing with author @johnjacksonmiller.bsky.social and Batman films producer Michael Uslan I was able to attend!

I also felt so lucky getting to have @joequinones.bsky.social sign my copy of Black Canary/Zatanna: Bloodspell, one of my favorite books, & also picking up prints for the Batman: Ressurection/Revolution versions of Clayface and Riddler. Quinones is one of my favorite artists, so it was just great.

As a big Lady Shiva fan, it rocked getting to have Denys Cowan sign this cover for Question 28!

First, I had this amazing sketch cover done by the excellent @christopherjonesart.com, based off of the cover to All Star Superman 10. Me. Jones also made me promise that next time, I’ll do a Plastic Man cover 😂

Last year at NYCC I packed too much and only had half the stuff I wanted signed, so this year I packed a lot less and planned a bit more, with only two things I hoped to have signed not being available, which I say is a win.

Firstly, I had a lovely time there! I don’t New York City itself, but actually being at the convention is a ton, especially when you get to hang out with a friend/coworker like I did.
I also got to meet @alexjaffe.bsky.social there’s, who’s as great as you’d think he is. Swell and awesome dude.

🟠Did you know that I like the Spoony Experiment and have a lot of thoughts on it? Well, you do now! Specifically thoughts about where the show was headed and the meta-story and lore of the channel, did you know the show even HAD lore?
