For fun, I decided to rewatch all of the episodes of Batman Caped Crusader that Eel O’Brian was in. He’s only in four (the episodes with Catwoman, Firebug, Mad Monk, and Rose/Thorn), but something interesting I noticed is that season 2’s episodes credit Jack Cole for creating him, but not season 1.
I drank a coffee this morning and unfortunately started feeling better

This kind of reminds me of that deal where Diddy had to pay Sting $5,000 a day because he sampled “Every Breath You Take” in a song without permission. I wonder if that’s still required

Man I wish I had an office job - statements that are true for me but would kill your average movie protagonist in 1999
I loved this bit from Event Leviathan where Question brings back that running gag from his 80’s book where he never answered anyone properly and would just say “good question” or the like

Neil - Plastic Man Talk@plasticmantalk.bsky.social · 2d agoEvent Leviathan (2019) 2 Art by Alex Maleev Plastic Man in a high stakes espionage/detective thriller is such a fun idea, and even if he isn’t utilized the ways I’d want, I still appreciate him just being there.
Ok gang, I found a box of motley comics and so before I sell/donate them I figured I’d offer them here first. $10 for the Hardcovers/Softcovers $5 for the manga If you want any of these let me know below. 24 hour first dibs. US only. I will offer discounts for bulk
I love Yang’s idea of exploring what the original Galactus Saga would look like in the modern day. In the 60’s, with aliens and the space race all the rage, it was an alien consuming worlds. In the modern day, it’s an AI consuming information.

Just finished Marathon Man. I loved it!

I don’t talk about the covers much on the thread, but I have to say number 15’s is one of my favorites for a few reasons, but the only one I’ll talk about is that there’s a sticky note on it asking where Woozy is. Woozy was gone until 2024, so it was nice seeing a reference to him around
Neil - Plastic Man Talk@plasticmantalk.bsky.social · 5d agoThe Terrifics (2018) 15 Art by Stephen Segovia The start of Gene Luen Yang’s run! I think Yang does a lot of really good work in the book, and had a lot of big ideas going for it. It deals with religious belief, technological dangers, whether you can love a copy of someone, good stuff.
I think Yang is my favorite author for Terrifics, partly because he expands the realm of the team a bit. Sure, they were traveling planets and such, but they always felt confined to Stagg’s mansion. At the Stagg Campus, you can immediately do a lot more with a main locale as well as the wider world.

Something I can now confirm: Eel O’Brian is in season 2! :D
Neil - Plastic Man Talk@plasticmantalk.bsky.social · 9mo agoYou know, I really do wonder what the deal is with Eel O’Brian in Batman Caped Crusader. In a crime series like that, you’d expect him to show up as a mobster, but he’s instead a reporter/photojournalist. He’s not even particularly scummy. Maybe underhanded and opportunistic, but not a thug.
Michael Johnston always looks like he should actually be British when he’s not acting, but no he’s an American actor

I like drawing Spider-Man, I like drawing Punisher, I enjoyed watching Brand New Day. Thwip
Let’s talk about Luke for a second After being introduced in JLA as Plas’ abandoned 10 year old son, he’d later be shown as Offspring in various books, and presented as a teenager. He actually appeared in the last Pre-Flashpoint Teen Titans book, which is a bit surprising.
Neil - Plastic Man Talk@plasticmantalk.bsky.social · last wk.The Terrifics (2018) 13 Art by Joe Bennett I’m gonna be honest not much happens in this one aside from Michael connecting with an alternate universe version of his wife Paula, and the team reforming with new member Luke/Offspring.
That's because Plastic Man predates what we think of as Plastics. Plastic used to mean it was just moldable, shapable, and flexible. C4 is called plastic explosives not because it's made from plastics, but because it's a moldable clay. It wasn't until the 50s that plastic became hard and rigid.
You know, PLASTIC MAN never spanked his enemies, just saying…
