American Comics Update: The Bute Collection: Police Comics 1946 & 1949
*Miscellaneous 1940-1959: From the Bute Collection this week, some true vintage from Quality Comics from 1946 & 1949 in the shape of Police Comics #51 & #86 in contrasting grades. 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, funny girl Candy, Manhunter, the Human Bomb (in #51) and a number of comedy shorts.
