Fred Fairgood

Fred Fairgood is a Bronze Age original who made his debut in The Calgary Herald Comic Book #51 in 1979, brought to life by creator Bill Hinds in what was clearly a distinctive corner of the comics world — a newspaper publisher's own comic book series. Sharing his pages with the likes of Buck Rogers and a cast of characters including Debbie Winslow, Stanley Parker, Henry, and Billy, Fred keeps lively, eclectic company. With only a handful of catalog appearances across a short 1979–1980 run, he's a genuine rarity — the kind of find that reminds collectors just how wonderfully wide the Bronze Age landscape really was beyond the big publishers.
