☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Fred Merkle," Ray Gotto crafts a lively, underdog tale of Ike, a small-town football hero whose touchdown in the absurdly named 47th annual Fatfield-McBatt Football Feud sets off a chain of misadventures. After chasing fame in the city, Ike’s dream of fortune turns sour when he’s swindled by shady promoters, all drawn with Gotto’s signature blend of humor and heart. The story, written, drawn, and inked by Ray Gotto himself, features his distinctive art on both the interior and the cover, making this 1948 Four Color #180 a rare, self-contained gem from the early days of comic book storytelling.
