American Flagg gets the Uber-Ultra-Mega-Deluxe Treatment



This week, Image Comics and Dynamic Forces team up to release the first volume of Howard Chaykin's classic, American Flagg!. I wish I could say more about this book, but I haven't read it. I am still very confident recommending it. In the last few years I've become a great fan of Chaykin, through his work on DC's iteration of The Shadow, Black Kiss, and Power and Glory. His work exudes the cynicism and vitriol of the best muckrakers, in any medium. I had planned on catching up on American Flagg! through back issues, but decided to wait for this edition, when I heard about it. I'm very excited. Comic Book Resources has a nice interview/article on the book here. Buy it from Amazon, or better yet, walk down the street and buy it from your local comic book store.

FYI-This is out now, according to Collected Comics Library. I'm not sure why Amazon has it as being released on the 30th.-ian

Ian,
Amazon is not so great when it comes to releases dates. Bookmark http://www.comiclist.com/ or come by my Release Schedule off my CCL Homepage.
