Turn Loose Our Death Rays and Kill Them All: The Complete Works of Fletcher Hanks

Collecting the bizarre, brutal, and utterly singular work of Fletcher Hanks, this 2016 Fantagraphics volume assembles the complete output of a mysterious Golden Age cartoonist. Edited and annotated by Haye Maker, the single-issue collection showcases Hanks’s uniquely crude, fever-dream storytelling and his recurring cosmic avengers like Stardust the Super Wizard. It matters as a definitive archive of an outsider artist whose raw, unhinged imagination remains unlike anything else in mainstream comics history.
