The first collection, \u003cem\u003eI Shall Destroy All Civilized Planets\u003c\/em\u003e, is now in its third printing, a runaway bestseller and one of our favorite collections!\n\nHanks was a true comics visionary—or crazy man—whose work packs a wallop with its unique and unified artistic vision. Witness the superhero Stardust as he gazes down at evildoers from space and doles out poetic justice (read: Death) with his wizardry. Or enjoy the jungle queen Fantomah, who looks like Jean Harlow in a skintight black negligee, but when angry, her head turns into a glowing skull! Bad guys are thrown to the alligators and torn apart by wild beasts. Mercy? Not in a Fletcher Hanks story! Hanks wrote (and also penciled, inked, and lettered) some of the most twisted comic book stories of all time.\n\nIn the first collection, his son, who became a war hero in WWII, describes how Hanks was a long-term alcoholic who deserted his family before his comics career began. What happened to him after his short comics career also remains a mystery. However, his story does contain some of the demented violent ravings of an artist who had his own demons.\n\nThis collection includes 31 more complete tales. Together with the first book, it compiles Hanks' entire comics output.
