Do we like this? Is it right or wrong? Why does he have long hair? Is this Peter David Aquaman moments before the hook hand?

I love the Dick Giordano art I’m seeing here. Dick G was one of my favorite comic artists, and I daresay he drew some of the manliest men, and beautiful females ever to grace a comic page. The inner power of Aquaman is very obvious, as was pointed out.
I missed out on these Adventure Comics, but I did get to read the Plas stories in Super Friends, which are about to pick up after this. It was quite a treat to get TWO DC-to-TV features in one comic! An added incentive to pick up Super Friends each month…like I really needed one!
Always great to hear Max, and I hope he, and Plas bounce back soon!
Chris
I came for the Starman. Good episode anyway.
Well done in giving us a part two, Rob, and good guesting, Max.
Great to be reminded of Cal Durham, that guy was around for decades, on and off – we’ve not seen him since Sub Diego, have we? I’m not surprised the Mayor wasn’t delighted with Arthur, he really was snotty to him in that World’s Finest issue.
I enjoyed the first Plastic Man story, even though this art wasn’t Staton’s best. I like the second one together, the Marx Brothers were seen regularly on UK screens regularly in the Seventies.
Can you imagine how great a Plastic Man Treasury edition could be? Or start with a digest and continue a story into the Treasury as Plas stretches upwards…
So when does Max bring us the Plasti-cast?
Who told you the name?! I mean … er … what are you talking about, Martin?
Fun show, gentlemen. My thanks.
Interesting that the Plastic Man Adventure strips were untitled, and yet titles were featured in some of the “On Sale [DATE]” blurbs in the letter column pages of other DC Comics titles. The one for Adventure #475 stated “Don’t Get Mad — Get Even!”, while #476 AND #477 was “Disco Plas”… which makes me wonder if the Cheeseface story was bumped ahead of schedule…
Good catch, Xum! I kinda wonder if, between word balloons, caption boxes, and Joe Staton’s jam-packed art, there just wasn’t any room for a title? It does seem odd to drop it, especially if there was already a promo in the previous issue.
