Featured title this month: American Flagg! By Howard Chaykin:

 

One of the seminal comics of the 1980s — along with Watchmen and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns — Howard Chaykin’s American Flagg! broke new ground in comic storytelling and influenced a generation of writers and artists- including Michael Chabon who writes the intro in the Definitive Collection of Vol. 1. Set in 2031 in a world ravaged by nuclear conflict, environmental disasters and corporate greed, the book is still eerily relevant, so this is a great time to check out Chaykin’s influential series.

 

Flagg!, in both its style and its concepts, fed the literary genre of cyberpunk that has since watered the entire landscape of popular culture, from comics and computer games to movies to television programs.

--Michael Chabon, Pulitzer Prize, The Amazing  Adventures of Kavalier & Clay

 

…when I discovered the work of Howard Chaykin—creator, writer, artist, and designer extraordinaire—his work on American Flagg! Forever changed my view of what comics were and, more importantly, could be.

--Jim Lee, Superman and Batman

 

Chaykin’s vision of a politically polarized, media-saturated future was prophetic—right down to America’s current fixation with reality TV.

--Jeff Jensen, Entertainment Weekly
