There is, indeed, a fair amount of sexualized content in many of these stories (including the one that you reproduce here), but there's also a great deal of <i>invention</i> that simply speaks to the possibilities of plasticities of various sorts. <br /><br />I appreciate the implicit <i>digs</i> in this story at the presumptions people make about the prerogatives of political authority. Over the course of his career, Cole's politics seem to have evolved from a rather thoughtless populism to a more clear-eyed view expressed through irony. <br /><br />The quality of the inking seemed quite high to me.

Remove plastic man, and still you have The King of Zing who is a great, recognizable fun character, Lulu, and for good measure, second to last page a really "good" girl!<br /><br />So much fun, cartoon-y art. It's really amazing. Even the first robber telling his story, the image on the bottom of the full page word balloon is just great.<br /><br />And it's a fun, fast paced story.Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.com
