I haven’t laughed this much while reading a comic since the last time I read Plastic Man.
There’s a special place in my heart for Plastic Man. When my oldest (now 20) was a kindergartner, I read him Plastic Man at night. Every month, we’d go to the comic store to pick up the latest issue, and we’d laugh and laugh.
Well, my oldest picked up this volume of Plastic Man stories as a nostalgia play a couple of weeks ago. I read it today, and I laughed laughed. Out loud. And even got a little choked up at one point, too.
If you enjoy silly jokes and comics that are actually comical, you cannot go wrong with Plastic Man. One word of advice, however: don’t read it somewhere quiet is required. You’ll laugh and laugh.
