Disclose Notes: (From: https://strippersguide.blogspot.com/search?q=fletcher ) His real name was Richard Martin Steenburgh but his mother was an artist who used her maiden name of Fletcher and he later adopted this as well. He is usually referred to as "Dick Fletcher." There is considerable confusion as a result, since there was also a different comic artist named Richard Eugene “Rick” Fletcher.

'Fletcher' signs on every page.
