Synopsis

by Fletcher Hanks
Welcome to the bizarre world of Fletcher Hanks, Super Wizard of the inkwell. Fletcher Hanks worked for only a few years in the earliest days of the comic book industry (1939-1941). Because he worked in a gutter medium for second-rate publishers on third-rate characters his work has been largely forgotten. But among aficionados he is legendary. Hanks drew in a variety of genres depicting science-fiction saviors, white women of the jungle, and he-man loggers. Cartoonist Paul Karasik (co-adapter of Paul Auster's City of Glass and co-author of The Ride Together, a Memoir of Autism in the Family) has spent years tracking down these obscure and hard to find stories buried in the back of long-forgotten comic book titles. Karasik has also uncovered a dark secret: why Hanks disappeared from the comics scene. This book collects 15 of his best stories in one volume followed by an Afterword which solves the mystery of "Whatever Happened to Fletcher Hanks," the mysterious cartoonist who created a hailstorm of tales of brutal retribution... and then mysteriously vanished.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Fletcher Hanks worked on third-rate characters during only the first three years of the comic book industry (1939-1941). However, among aficionados of cult cartoonists (including Art Spiegelman, who published Hanks in RAW magazine) Hanks has gathered a reputation as the Ed Wood, Jr of comics. Now, Paul Karasik has collected Hanks' best stories in one volume, which also features a 16-page bonus comics afterword by Karasik who solves the mystery of Whatever Happened to Fletcher Hanks the maniacal cartoonist?
