===Note===
*After "New Jersey Patriots" Fredericks said<ref name="River">"Jersey Patriots" Artist Moves to Gillette" The Courier News (Bridgewater, New Jersey) 22 December 1959, p 15.</ref> that his newest projects include a panel strip, "True Tales of the Civil War", which has been accepted by  a syndicate for sale to Sunday newspapers, and a sketchbook of old silent screen heroes and villians, titled "Old Cowhands".
*At "[http://bailsprojects.com/bio.aspx?Name=FREDERICKS%2C+FRED Who's Who of American Comic Books 1928-1999]" Jerry Bails list [[Fred Fredericks]] as pen and ink artist on a daily/Sunday strip named "Manny" in the years 1970-1982. This may be a misunderstanding since Fred Fredericks used "Manny" as a nickname for "Mandrake the Magician".
