Hembeck: The Best of Dateline: @!!?# [Hembeck Series]

Fred Hembeck’s long-running, self-published series of gag strips and parodies is collected here in a single 1980 FantaCo Enterprises one-shot. Featuring the cartoonist’s signature loose, rubbery line, the book skewers superhero icons like Spider-Man and Blackhawk with warm, goofy affection. It stands as a perfect snapshot of Hembeck’s early, influential humor work, capturing the playful irreverence that made him a beloved cult figure in the industry.
