American Comics Update: The Bute Collection: Police Comics 1944
*Miscellaneous 1940-1959: Also from the Bute Collection this week, some true vintage from Quality Comics from 1944 in the shape of Police Comics #29 & #30. Police Comics was the title in which Plastic Man first appeared (from #1) and although I don’t see many police involved, this bumper-sized anthology title contained a whole wealth of detective, mystery and super-hero strips, as well as a fair sprinkling of humour. In these issues you get Plastic Man by Jack Cole and the Spirit by Will Eisner, the occult detective Destiny, Manhunter, the Human Bomb and a number of comedy shorts.
