He's not creator Jack Cole's wacko version of the Ductile Detective...
...but he is the Russkie-Smasher Quality Comics' editors thought we wanted in the 1950s!
Written by Joe Millard and illustrated by Al Luster, this tale from Quality's Plastic Man #43 (1953) was typical for the era, emphasizing Commies and monsters over the surreal humor Jack Cole had embedded into the series' concept!
BTW, when the story was reprinted only a couple of years later in Quality's Plastic Man #60 (1956), the newly-created Comics Code Authority insisted on a title change...
...as well as minor alterations in a couple of panels renaming the FBI the "NBI" and cutting back on violence and name-calling!
