The Stairway to Madness!

As many of you know I don't really post a lot of superhero stuff here, and when I do it's usually a tale involving some type of supernatural shenanigans, explainable or not. A perfect example is this fantastically illustrated / written satanic haunted house story from the January 1953 issue of Plastic Man #39, --one that concludes leaving even Plas scratchin' his 'ol rubber noggin' in perplexity! Spooky, funny, and just non-stop great dialog, art, and action-- plus since it's October I've decided to make Plastic Man the "Spotlight Character of the Month" and give you a few more of his eeriest adventures sprinkled around for the next few weeks-- so stay tombed for that! Did anyone ever dress up as Plastic Man for Halloween?
