"For years Jack Cole labored dutifully as a cartoonist, comic book illustrator, and Playboy's premier artist. But one look at his most famous creation---the manic, surreal Plastic Man---and there is no question that much more lurked in the mind of this tragic artist than anyone suspected. Pulitzer Prize-winning writer and cartoonist Art Spiegelman and renowned graphic designer Chip Kidd pay homage to Plastic Man and his creator. With exuberant energy, extraordinary flexibility, and bizarre plot twists, Jack Cole stretched Plastic Man beyond the traditional limits of the comic book form."
