Famous Fanmail #61 Fred Hembeck

Filed under: Famous Fanmail — Doorman @ 7:46 am

You may not be surprised to learn that most people in the comic business grew up reading comic books. However, you might be interested in knowing what they were reading. Here’s a look at “Famous Fanmail”!

Fred Hembeck’s parody work has been featured in comics for around three decades now. At the age of 23, he got a letter published in Skull the Slayer #3 (cover date – January 1976), praising the creative team for its work on the book. Unfortunately for the title, in just a few issues it underwent more creative team changes than a book should endure in years, and it was quickly canceled at issue #8. However, the premise was indeed an interesting one but, be warned! If you’re going to read this series, it was canceled on a cliffhanger ending.
