Plastic Man #12
In "Spadehead," Plastic Man confronts the Riverman, a terrifying aquatic survivor born with gills and adapted to life beneath the surface, banished from society and now dwelling in the depths. Written by Bill Woolfolk and brought to life with bold, expressive art by Jack Cole—both pencils and inks—this 1948 Quality Comics classic delivers a haunting, surreal encounter in a world where the river holds secrets and monsters. The cover, also by Jack Cole, captures the eerie menace of the Riverman in stark, dramatic lines.
