The series ran for approximately two years, from December 1939 to the Winter of 1941, initially serialized in ''Fantastic Comics'' with the final story being published in ''Big Three Comics''. These dates incidentially span the entirety of Hanks' career in comics. All the aforementioned publications have since lapsed into the PublicDomain, allowing for the comics to be [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes legally posted online]] - and for the character to be used by anyone, for any creative purpose. In 2016, Fantagraphics Books published a hardcover book compiling the complete works of Fletcher Hanks, which naturally includes all of Stardust's demented adventures.
