I couldn't find a Fletcher Hanks thread, so here one is!

[Kent Meredith]

To those who may not be familiar with this early GA creator, here's one of several threads dedicated to him:

There's a new book on him that's just come out, and it's about dang time!

 

Of the many odd, brilliant, raw visions of the GA's early days, there's little that approaches Hanks' all too small body of work.

 

The only word - all too insufficient - that comes to mind is "Wolvertonesque."

 

(Maybe we should be posting about Hanks in the "what'll be hot in 15 years" thread!)

Fletcher Hanks rocks!

 

The author is a member of the forum (bix3131) and several forumites have been helping to complete the checklist of his work.

 

If you start at the end of this thread and page toward the beginning you'll find a number of scans of pages/stories that are not in the book.

Fiction House Anyone

 

The last post in this thread is from the author of the Fletcher Hanks books and this thread also has scans of pages/stories.

Wow - I'm in Fletcher Hanks territory!

 

(Sorry if this was a redundant thread.)

 

Thanks, Adam!!!

I wouldn't call him Wolvertonesque, but I think they were both taking the same peyote!

The author of the Fletcher Hanks books called him "Wolverton on acid"

I met Paul Karasik (editor of the Fletcher Hanks book) as MOCCA a couple weeks ago... really nice guy. The book is very well done... probably the best reprinting of classic material that I've seen yet.

I was too lazy to look up Paul's name so I'm glad you posted. I will pick up the book at San Diego direct from Fantagraphics.

isn't that redundant?

 

i love how Stardust can just pull powers out of his tuchus whenever he needs them

I was resistant to that descriptor until I saw the pages posted here.
