Cool things to look at: Fatman the Human Flying Saucer

Fatman the Human Flying Saucer

Again with the Comics posts a CC Beck and Otto Binder comic that never quite attained the sort of acclaim that Captain Marvel did.

The series only lasted three bimonthly issues in 1967, a victim of the end of the camp craze, and a corresponding slump in comic book sales. As a fan of C.C. Beck’s immaculate cartooning, I really think it’s a shame that Beck and Binder couldn’t make a go of this, because it becomes obvious as I page through the yellowed pages, reading the text pages touting the reunion of Beck and Binder, that Fatman: The Human Flying Saucer was a hopeful labor of love for the two creators.
