Like a B-movie in book form. I read THE SHADOW KILLER, and while it wasn’t a great book, I found it to be an entertaining enough read. Like a B-movie in book form.

I assure it is no hoax. Evidently the book also has appeal to people who don't care about old comics. Of the book, the late Kurt Vonnegut said, " The recovery from oblivion of these treasures is in itself a work of art." The visual impact is like being hit in the brain by a jackhammer. Once you see Hanks' work, you are not likely to forget it. For those of you unfamiliar with Hanks' work, I urge you to wander over to my website, go to the BONUS page, and see the slideshow of a Fantomah story that does NOT appear in the book: www.fletcherhanks.com (and check out the swell t-shirts!)
