American Flagg! comic by Howard Chaykin
wikipedia
"The Plex has formed the Tricentennial Recovery Committee, to get America "back on track for '76", but the TRC is in reality a plan to sell the United States off to the new superpowers and to leech off the remaining inhabitants before gaining true self-sufficiency.
As a result, the Plex has outlawed non-combat related education, organized sports such as basketball and personal aircraft, restricted media to only one outlet, the Plex itself (although it has multiple channels), and advocates and glorifies the use of political violence amongst independent policlubs by providing money and firearms for its hit TV show Firefight All Night LIVE!, and covertly sterilizes the population by using a combination contraceptive and antibiotic called Mañanacillin to reduce the population." -
American Flagg IS The Uncanny Valley of the Future
...or a variation on a theme of a possible one. When I first picked up an issue of AF in the indie shelf at R&K Comics on the El Camino, I was only interested in the fact that it was created by Howard Chaykin, whose work on a proverbial reboot of The Shadow for DC Comics brought intense attention to a creator with a penchant for not only hard boiled crime noir, but a visual style that is still singular and inimitable (influenced as much by editorial and advertising illustrating legends like […]https://zeruch.wordpress.com/2026/01/15/american-flagg-is-the-uncanny-valley-of-the-future/

Today is Howard Chaykin's birthday! Couldn't find any posts on Fedi about it, so the usual tradition of linking to a tweet instead: https://twitter.com/humanoidhistory/status/1710638631210078394

I often read his Substack (one of three I'm subscribed to, the others being Brian K. Vaughan and Grant Morrison) and while there's a lot I don't agree with, it's usual food for thought. Any new entry unironically comes at a time when I'm having the same internal discussions about the topic, usually of art and perception.

New #DollarBinDiscovery Episode!
For some reason, it felt like a good week to take on the theme "Stars & Stripes" and we both found some wild comics from the 80s! Mike fell in love with an issue of Scout, while Jessika badmouthed Santa Claus with the American Flagg Special!

I've been waiting to get to this series while in the Ms of the Great #ComicBook Re-inventorying Initiative - #Micronauts
This series had it all. Space opera, action, wide range of characters, and the story/art from start to finish was phenomenal. This series got me into #comics. When you call out folks like #BillMantlo #MichaelGolden #HowardChaykin #PatBroderick #AlMilgrom #GilKane #ButchGuice #KelleyJones and so many more. I read the 💩 out of this book.

Stack Clean: The Divided States of Hysteria #2
I internally debated whether I would even mention this comic, because it was profoundly bad in a number of ways.
