Book Reviews of American Flagg! Volume 1 (American Flagg!)
Book Review: The most influencial comic you never heard of
Summary: 5 Stars
In the early 80s Howard Chaykin launched one of the most innovative and influential comics of the decade. His dynamic storytelling style uses the media as a Greek Chorus to fill us in on the background of the world and keep us up to date on the story. Reading it you quickly see how it influenced the structure of Watchmen, Dark Knight Returns and other classics of the late 80s and beyond.
His story forecast the collapse of the Soviet Union and a hyper-media, hyper-violent America abandoned by its masters. The main character is an ex-TV star replaced by a CGI version of himself. Some of his vocabulary like Go-Gangs and Policlubs made its way into other science fiction like Shadowrun.
25 years later its still timely and still a darn good read.
