Police Comics seems to go into overdrive with this issue! 9 pages of Plas with a great splash, terrific art & bizarre story from Cole, beautiful (and funny) Human Bomb tale from Gustavson, fine work from Kotsky on Manhunter- all this and The Spirit too. Bliss!
   By
This is the issue I mentioned earlier, a gory story involving an undying brain in a grave, people stomped FLAT... Plastic Man almost constantly involved murders, facial mutilation, needless tragic death, and unexplained freaks. The Comics Code Authority often made silly censoring (such as removing the letters FBI from a desk).

Comic StoryThe Brain of Cyrus Smythe / Plastic Man (9 pages)
SynopsisCyrus Smythe was a super-powered villain who was killed in 1642 by a monster of his own creation, and left in a vat of chemicals that allowed his body to die but the brain to remain alive. Soldier Tad Wilkins died centuries later near the grave of Smythe, and medics mistakenly implanted Smythe's brain into Wilkins and Smythe assumed the soldier's life in America. Soon he came into conflict with Plastic Man and his body died.....but the living brain was once again buried.
