This Day in Arf History: Jack Cole’s Birthday

Born on this day in 1914, Jack Cole is most famous for creating Plastic Man. Plas was originally created for Police Comics but soon stretched out and got his own title, too. Cole also drew major sexy babes for Playboy and other venues. BTW there’s a section on Cole in “Clean Cartoonists’ Dirty Drawings”. Hubba Hubba and Happy Happy Birthday!


Art Spiegleman’s tribute to Jack Cole and Plastic Man

Look for more Spiegelman in the next Arf book where he does a special piece just for the book!
