#079: March 1967 (w/Fred Hembeck) - “Blastaar, the Living Bomb-Burst!”

Fred Hembeck has spent more than four decades
writing and drawing gag strips featuring just about every comics
character you can think of (and a bunch you can't). His
curly-Q-elbowed caricatures have graced the pages of the
Comics Buyer's Guide, Marvel Age, Fantastic Four Roast,
and Fred Hembeck Destroys the Marvel Universe and have
been collected in The Marvel Universe According to Hembeck
and The Nearly Complete Essential Hembeck Archives
Omnibus.
