I wonder if that's this Howard Kaplan. He'd have been 11 in 1961, making him the ideal comics-reading age for the Silver Age, and he's from Los Angeles.

It's actually the mindless but still living body of a guy that could turn into a building!

He hasn't posted on twitter in a month and a half, but it wouldn't hurt to ask. It's always fun to hear about authors and artists that wrote into comic book letter pages when they were young.

A month or so later Boing becomes a vital plot element as it's used to entombed Judge Anderson who is keeping Judge Death in check at the end of his first storyline.

Frankly, I don't like you
and I never have.
One of the first comics I ever read was an issue where people encased in BOINGTM were used as the balls in a giant deadly pinball machine as some kind of post apocalyptic sport or something. I had no idea what was going on, but I remember later thinking that Flubber had ripped off the idea from 2000 AD.

When I think of Dredd I remember some early story where Dredd just says hello to a guy and the guy starts running away from Dredd and ends up on top of a building and jumping off, breaking multiple bones. And then Dredd says he will get 6 months after he gets out of the hospital for littering by throwing his body onto the street.

I actually just read that one the other week. It's Pin Boing Wizard where people compete safely as Boing pinballs. Dredd chases some perps into the machine and gets a high score, though tilts the machine by blowing up his bike.
