Note

  • After "New Jersey Patriots" Fredericks said[1] 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 "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".
