Fletcher Hanks was the first great comic book auteur: he wrote, penciled,inked, and lettered all of his own stories. He completed approximately 50stories between 1939-1941, all unified by a unique artistic vision. Whether it’s the superheroStardust doling out ice cold slabs of poetic justice, or the jungle protectressFantomah tearing evildoers from limb to ragged limb, contemporary readersare stunned by the pop surrealism and outright violent mayhem of Hanks’work. Originally featured in two paperback volumes, this deluxe hardcovercollects—for the first time—all of Hanks’ previously published material, plusseveral gems newly discovered for this volume, making this the very firstcomplete collection of the works of Fletcher Hanks.
