I guess we have to thank Mr.Cuti for this second volume, since I got the sense from our interview that the first one--or pretty much any of the non-superhero collections--didn't sell too well. That's a crying shame, since as we'll see these Plop! collections featured some outstanding work, behind the front cover by Wally Wood and inside front cover by Basil Wolverton:
• An intro starring Cain and Abel by Sergio Aragones
• "Love Is A Dandy!" by Steve Skeates, Steve Ditko, and Wally Wood
• "The Aladdin Frame-Up" by Skeates and Aragones
• "A Tale Before Sunrise" by Skeates and Vicent Alcazar, aka the Final Batman Story
• "A Likely Story" by Skeates and Aragones
• "The Collector" by Coram Nobis and Wood
• "The Demand" by Aragones
• "A Perfectly Crazy Crime" by Skeates and Aragones
• "The Message" by Sheldon Mayer and Alfredo Alcala
• "The Locked Door of Harkness House!" by Maxene Fabe and Dave Manak
• "The Man Who Came to Dinner" by George Kashdan and Nick Cardy
• "We're Always Working For Your Wowweee!" by Skeates and Manak
• "All Wet!" by Skeates and Lee Marrs
• "Once Upon A Swine..." by Victor Schwartzmann, Fabe, and Aaragones
• "Vampire At The Circus" by Dave Edwing and Manak
• "Bug In The Works" by Skeates and Manak
• "The Escape!" by Aaragones
• "The Spell!" (uncredited)
• "Cain's Game Room" by Edwing and Manak
• "The Temple of Ikka-Ka-Ka!" by Skeates and Aragones
• "A Rejection From Cain" by Michael Pellowski and Alcala
• "Molded in Evil" by Ed Noonchester, Kashdan, and Berni Wrightson
...wow, that's a lot of material crammed into one book! Props to DC, Nick Cuti, and all the fine creative madmen behind the all-too-short-lived Plop!
