About The Book

A landmark of 1980s comics, American Flagg! is Howard Chaykin’s groundbreaking sci-fi classic about media manipulation, corporate fascism, and one reluctant hero fighting back.

From its 1983 debut, American Flagg! was a breakout success, emerging from a new generation of small publishers, imprints now lost to history. Award-winning, narratively and graphically audacious, and ridiculously influential, its impact on comic book storytelling is still being felt today, in a story comically – and sometimes frighteningly – prescient about the world in which we live.

It got some things wrong, but man, it got a lot more right.

A lot.

This fully remastered 1,064-page collection includes Howard Chaykin’s run on the series’ first 30 issues – more than half of which have never before been collected - plus the American Flagg! Special, all the Flagg! shorts from the years since, and a host of extras, in addition to an all-new 26-page story created for this volume.

About The Author

Howard Chaykin

Howard Chaykin is a longtime veteran of the comic book business, serving as an artist and writer for nearly every publisher of comics in the past four decades…and counting. He took the ’90s off to work on mostly unwatchable television, so he missed the money and dreck that was comics in that execrable decade. He is responsible, some might say culpable, for introducing a number of previously unexplored themes to comic books. If you're not hip to what that's supposed to mean, there's always Wikipedia.
