In response to Ellis: I ordered Basil Wolverton's "Spacehawk" book on Amazon after picking up a free Spacehawk mini-comic at the local comic store a few weeks ago. The stories and art seem every bit as weird and wonderful as Fletcher Hanks' stuff.
Mostly sketches. Occasionally a painting. Nothing political other than caricatures reinforcing the truism "Politics is Show Business for Ugly People".

Love Basil Wolverton. I have THIS and another anthology
Are you selling them?
When I look at either Fletcher Hanks or Basil Wolverton comics I say to myself, "That's it! That's the kind of comic I want to do!"
I'm with you on that Tom. Unfiltered imagination that just happens to cram itself into a story format. Good guy. v Bad Guy. Very Bad guy. I'd like to see you do a good Hanks villain Tom.
"It's the Spacehawk!" Every God damned issue.
Tommy, dag-nabit, we're all DYING to see you do just this sort of thing. Get a pad, some pencils and a tape recorder, take a dose of hallucinogens, and start spewing. Tell Patty not to let you out of the studio until you've got a few hundred pages...the world will thank you both!
