Fred Hembeck (born January 30, 1953) is an American cartoonist best known for his parodies of characters from major American comic book publishers.
His work has frequently been published by the firms whose characters he spoofs.
His characters are always drawn with curlicues at the elbows and knees.
He often portrays himself as a character in his own work, in the role of "interviewer" of various comic book characters.
Interviewer Daniel Best has said of his work, "If you take your comic books seriously, and think that those characters are real then you're probably not a fan of Hembeck."
