Revision as of 13:12, 3 March 2022
As mentioned in the Hector Heathcote (Gold Key 01) page, Fred Fredericks appears to have a specific interest on history, especially about the American Civil War period (April 1861 – May 1865). That obvious interest is expressed by his own created comics strips and in some of the comic-books written and/or drawn by him. It is interesting to note that both humor strips (like "Hector Heathcote") and realistic strips (like "The Blue Phantom") could be concerned by these historical subjects.
