| Fletcher Hanks is the best. It's like Dick Calkins mixed with Jack Kirby after he started losing his vision, scrawled on the wall of a cave 30,000 years ago by a mind more twisted than H.P. Lovecraft. |
|
| Fletcher Hanks really puts the fun in Fantastic Comics. I love his weird sci-fi stories and the hilarious Stardust stuff. |
