Product Description: At last: American Flagg! - created, written and illustrated by Howard Chaykin and winner of numerous awards and honors, including nine Eagle Awards - available for the first time as a deluxe hardcover collecting the series' first groundbreaking story arc! Plus! Additional cover paintings and promotional pieces by Chaykin, a Michael Chabon introduction, an afterword by Jim Lee, and as a special bonus - a brand-new American Flagg! story written and illustrated by Howard Chaykin exclusively for this edition!
THIS is how you make an "Omnibus"! Image puts Marvel and DC to shame with this definitive edition of one of the most distinctive and memorable comics of the 80s, by one of the most creative (and underappreciated) writer/artists in the field.
This is a professional-quality hardbound edition that will remain definitive for years to come. This volume features a real (gasp!) SEWN BINDING, high-quality, matte-finish paper, a gorgeous job of restoration, and even a sewn-in ribbon bookmark. All at the same price-point as DC's glued-binding, printed-on-newsprint Fourth World Omnibuses (and 1/2 - 2/3 the price of Marvel's Omnibus series, which also "feature" glued bindings).
This is how you do it, people.
A classic After several failed attempts to bring out this collection it has finally arrived. It is hard bounded and with quality paper and looks great. This collection covers the "Hard Times", "Southern Comfort", "State of the Union", and "Solidarity for Now" story lines which build on one another. In addition it included two wrap-up stories and a additional story from HC. The stories in this collection are great and although written in the 80's, still feels relevant. This is what Chaykin fans have been waiting for and its really here. Bring on Vol 2.
