American Flagg! Finally
 Like the run of Miracleman written by Alan Moore and Neil Gaiman and Steve Rude�s Nexus, Howard Chaykin�s American Flagg! is one of those comic books series from the mid-80�s that I�ve always wanted to read. However, as seems to be symptomatic of these books, they having been traditionally horribly difficult to find. The original print runs were small and because of legal problems and bankruptcies, trade collections are difficult or slow to come by. Until now, only Nexus was readily available through some great looking (and expensive) archive editions from Dark Horse.
That should finally change this fall. Chaykin�s American Flagg! is finally finding its way into a trade collection. It was first announced back in 2004, but the re-publishing process has taken considerably longer than expected because none of the original artwork was still available.
None the less, Chaykin has gotten the first 12 issues in order and will have them published in a single hardcover book, or for those looking to save a little money - two softcover editions. Considering all the accolades and praise I�ve heard of the series, and my interest in Chaykin�s work, this looks like an good book to be looking for this upcoming winter.Labels: Comics
