Post Fletcher Hanks
I had seen one of Fletcher Hanks old 'golden age' comics reprinted in Raw some time ago and was always intrigued by how weird and unintentionally funny it was. I was in Fantagraphics today and had to pick up a new book they just published of some of his stuff. He has been referred to as the Ed Wood of comics. Really worth checking out, if you like campy shit like this.
(In this page, Stardust has turned a crime boss into a rat, but somehow his human head reappears. Go figure.)

But my favorite character is Fantoma, Mystery Woman of the Jungle
