Hmmm. Works for me.

I'll upload the link to Imageshack, maybe that'll work better.

That's wild...Don Martin appears to have been heavily influenced.

I really love Cole's Art, but was never a fan of the stories, even as a kid. Are their any Art of Jack Cole type collections out there, that focus on the art?

One day I need to sit down and read through the Archives. I have them all and thoroughly loved the first volume... so now it's just a matter of getting in the mood.

There's this thing:

Image

Jack Cole was well known in the 1950's for his work on crime and horror titles, and for his satire in the pages of Hugh Hefner's Playboy Magazine. But, this graphically inventive cartoonist's best known creation is the stretchable and off-centered super hero known as Plastic Man. In this edition is collected some of Cole's most energetic and extraordinary work. Also included is an homage to Cole and his creation by Pulitzer Prize-winning writer and cartoonist Art Spiegelman and renowned graphic designer Chip Kidd. Softcover, 136 pages, full color. NOTE: Tragically, in 1958 Cole unexpectedly took his own life. It is a subject Cole's friend, Hugh Hefner, discusses in the mock-documentary "Comic Book: The Movie" with interviewer Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker).

I'm working up the nerve to get the archives, but they seem to be particularly expensive, even for archives :(
