Jan 19, Julesreads rated it it was amazing. It is a showpiece item. No need to rush through it. Hanks was a nasty creature of a person, likely struggling through many issues and taking it out handsomely on those around him. Feb 09, Andy rated it really liked it Shelves:graphic-novels. When I read a large collection of comics from a single creator, I usually jump right in and come back to the introduction after having read several of the stories themselves. I did so this time as well, enjoying the strange, wacky tales of Stardust, the interplanetary being scouring planets for any hint of "racketeering," as well as the stories of Fantoma, Mystery Woman of the Jungle, and other oddball heroic characters.

The ideas here are so wacked-out featuring fundamental "crime must be punished" plots carried out by supermen and superwomen who seem omniscient and all-powerful, often Old Testament-like. Don't expect any of these stories to make any kind of scientific, practical or narrative sense; they won't. The wildness of their illogic is staggering. Hanks repeats himself endlessly, but the stories are still fascinating. Yet they're also disturbing on many levels: innocent people are killed, sometimes horribly, sometimes through torture. Some of the stories are so weird Turn Loose Our Death Rays and Kill Them All!: The Complete Works of Fletcher Hanks disturbing you'd swear Hanks snatched them from the Book of Revelation. The book covers Hanks's complete body of work, which covered only two years, He wrote, penciled, inked, and lettered his own work. He did everything. A guy to be admired, right? Then I read the introduction. Hanks was a drunkard who abused his family, spent all their money on booze, and even once kicked his 4-year-old son down a flight of stairs. Hanks abandoned his family, who never heard from him again and that was just fine with them. In an age where we're all trying to figure out just how or even if we should separate the artist from the art, this collection of comics provides just one more fascinating chapter.

He was active under a range of pseudonyms and his work has very dated themes from that era, including some racism, colonialism, American nationalist jingoism, etc. He apparently stopped doing comics in with no explanation he died in - police found him frozen in a park bench in Manhattan.

He has apparently acquired a cult following in the modern era, even though his work is so dated and often kind of absurd. I'm enjoying these comics more than I thought I would - lots of inspiration and "gonzo" concepts here! Apr 20, Chris rated it liked it. Fletcher Hanks created some goofball comic book stories. Turn Loose Our Death Rays and Kill Them All!: The Complete Works of Fletcher Hanks collection is an oddity. It is a beautifully produced, well researched, hefty hardcover filled with the complete works of an obscure comic auteur, but don't expect too much. The revelations are amusing but not really amazing. He absorbed his influences and spit them out in a warped, fun house mirror style. Along the way, Fletcher Hanks created some goofball comic book stories. Along the way, there is some enjoyable and unexpected weirdness. Unfortunately he never transcends second rate status. His writing is clunky and his art is stiff. If you are looking for inspired and weird comic book stories, you would be better off with Steve Ditko or Jack Cole.

He regularly blew most of his earnings on booze, forcing his young son Fletcher Junior to take on the burden of providing for the family. Hanks and friends quite literally got away with murder. As Glen David Gold points out in his foreword, Hanks seemed to eschew any normal sense of narrative flow in favor of stringing together a series of strange scenes whose cumulative meaning was often hard to discern. His four-color fantasies are typically just a bit more unhinged than those of his contemporaries. His characters were often scowling or sneering, seemingly full of contempt for any and every thing they encountered. He wrote, penciled, inked, and lettered his own work. Many comics of his era ended happily with the hero saving the day, getting the girl, and locking up the bad guys. His panels, often arranged in a seemingly haphazard manner, were packed tight with outlandish compositions of women riding tigers, headless men, giant animals and insects, Martian ogres, leopard-women, and all manner of objects including heads floating through the frame. But with Stardust, Hanks takes it to a new level, presenting a hero who seems hell-bent on exacting the most brutal acts of vengeance possible. These comics are bursting with one weird concept after another, tossing ideas off at random from panel to panel. In the first Stardust story in this collection, the following are either alluded to or fully rendered: hot-X fusing liquid, star-metal skin, atom-smashers, artificial lungs, boomerang rays, strange Turn Loose Our Death Rays and Kill Them All!: The Complete Works of Fletcher Hanks, and even the tried and true poison gas and typhoid germs. These sorts of absurdist sci-fi and fantasy shenanigans were indicative of the era. Hanks, though, takes these tropes and veers off into a uniquely surrealist territory within his tales of space men, gangster crime, and jungle action. Befitting what we know of both his life and temperament, Hanks flamed out of comics after two short but explosively creative years.

    ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry © 2019 By Ora Charles McWilliams Submitted to the graduate degree program in American Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Henry Bial Germaine Halegoua Joo Ok Kim Date Defended: 10 May, 2019 ii The dissertation committee for Ora Charles McWilliams certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Date Approved: 24 May 2019 iii Abstract The comic book industry has significant challenges with intellectual property rights. Comic books have rarely been treated as a serious art form or cultural phenomenon. It used to be that creating a comic book would be considered shameful or something done only as side work. Beginning in the 1990s, some comic creators were able to leverage enough cultural capital to influence more media. In the post-9/11 world, generic elements of superheroes began to resonate with audiences; superheroes fight against injustices and are able to confront the evils in today’s America. This has created a billion dollar, Oscar-award-winning industry of superhero movies, as well as allowed created comic book careers for artists and writers.

Comics historians often note that she is the first female superhero—and she certainly more in common with the likes of the Superman and the Spectre than she does with other jungle-dwelling characters. At least in her earliest appearances, such as the ones featured in this book. As the Fantomah series evolved, it went through distinct phases. Each volume in this three- volume NUELOW series provides highlights from each of them. We hope you enjoy this look at one of Fantomah’s three lives, and that you’ll join us for future books where she is transformed into a traditional “jungle girl” and then the ruler of a hidden civilization.

Abandoned Cars is Tim Lane’s first collection of graphic short stories, noir- ish narratives that are united by their exploration of the great American mytho- logical drama by way of the desperate and haunted characters that populate its pages. Lane’s characters exist on the margins of society—alienated, floating in the void between hope and despair, confused but introspective. The writing is straightforward, the stories mainstream but told in a pulpy idiom with an existential edge, often in the first person, reminiscent of David Goodis’s or Jim Thompson’s prose, or of films like Pick-Up on South Street or Out of the Past. Visually, Lane’s drawing is in a realistic mode, reminiscent of Charles Burns, that heightens the tension in stories that veer between naturalism on the one hand and the comical, nightmarish, and hallucinatory on the other. Here, American culture is a thrift store and the characters are thrift store junkies living among the clutter. It’s an America depicted as a subdued and haunted Coney Island, made up of lost characters—boozing, brawling, haplessly shooting themselves in the face, and hopping freight trains in search of Elvis.

Still suffering the aftershocks of the Great Depression despite Franklin D. Roosevelt’s progressive New Deal nos- trums—unemployment stood at 17% for 1939—Americans eyed the expanding wars in Europe and Asia nervously. Some tried to dismiss Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini as comic opera buffoons, decrying the hostilities as a “phony war” because not much had happened since the blitzkrieg dismemberment of Poland the previous September. These naysayers did not see it for what it was: the calm before the storm. Before the first year of the new decade was out, Nazi Germany seized Norway, Denmark, Belgium, the Nether- lands, and ultimately France, while attempting to bomb the United Kingdom into subjection. The British held out defiantly, and Hitler reluctantly abandoned his plans to invade England. That small victory brought no cheer to the conquered nations, where Der Führer’s relentless oppres- sion of Jews and other scapegoated minorities was in full force. Il Duce, too, continued his aggression, as Fascist Italy invaded Egypt and Greece.
