Cosmic Treadmill, Episode 18 - Plastic Man #1 (1943)

He's a real good guy in a bright red suit and he always wears goggles and a belt that's a beaut!  Plastic Maaaaaaa*hic*nnn

Chris (@acecomics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) stretch themselves to their limit this time around discussing a Golden Age tale of Plas and the gang.  They also dig deep into the life and times of Jack Cole, his work for Playboy Magazine and friendship with the recently-departed Hugh Hefner as well as his unfortunate and mysterious end.
