Beschreibung:
Fletcher Hanks was arguably the first great comic book auteur: He wrote, penciled, inked, and lettered all of his own stories — an unprecedented solo act in the 1940s comic book industry. Between 1939 and 1941 he created nearly 50 comics stories, all unified by a uniquely artistic vision — primitive, bizarre, and singularly idiosyncratic. Whether it’s the superhero Stardust doling out ice cold slabs of poetic justice, or the jungle protectress Fantomah tearing evildoers from limb to ragged limb, contemporary readers will be stunned by the pop surrealism and unfiltered violent mayhem of Hanks’ work. This new paperback edition brings back into print all of Hanks’ previously published material and is the most complete collection of his work.
