Week 4: Plastic Man


      Upon not being able to find the official book on plastic man I decided to try and find just some Plastic Man comic’s. When I found out exactly who was Plastic Man, I was surprised. Since I had never heard of him before and since I don’t think of someone stretchy being referred to as ‘Plastic’ it was kind of odd. I guess though after a while the name just kind of stuck with me. That this guy was plastic man and that was that.
      It’s a strong possibility that his name controversy inside my head was over powered with something I felt was even more powerful about these comics. I would have to say when I started reading the color used in these comics is ridiculously saturated. The color’s are actually very specifically placed I came to see.  First off it’s the color of Plastic Man’s costume, and since he is the main character it helps him gain importance over other characters. It is also used in backgrounds to bring specific importance to certain panels on the page, and even though the whole comic is very bright the red still stands it’s own against the other colors.Something else the comic does is breakup the monotony of full colored panels one after another by making some panel background-less. The white is actually refreshing to the eyes. I’m glad I looked through these it was a nice read.
