Welcome to the bizarre world of Fletcher Hanks, the mysterious cartoonist who created a hailstorm of tales of brutal retribution from 19391941...and then mysteriously vanished. His obscure and hard to find stories are finally collected here. 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 (19391941). Because he worked in a gutter medium for secondrate publishers on thirdrate characters, his work has been largely forgotten. But among aficionados he is legendary. At the time, comic books were in their infancy. The rules governing their form and content had not been established. In this Anything Goes era, Hanks work stands out for its thrilling experimentation. At once both crude and visionary, cold and hot as hell, Hanks work is hard to pigeon hole. One thing is for certain: the stuff is bent. Hanks drew in a variety of genres depicting sciencefiction saviors, white women of the jungle, and heman loggers. Whether he signed these various stories Henry Fletcher or Hank Christy or Barclay Flagg there is no mistaking the unique outsider style of Fletcher Hanks.Cartoonist Paul Karasik (coadapter of Paul Auster s City of Glass, and coauthor 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 longforgotten 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.2008 Eisner Award WINNER: Best Archival Collection/Project Comic Books2008 Eisner Award Nominee: Best Short Story, Whatever Happened to Fletcher Hanks? by Paul Karasik Fullcolor comics throughout
