VOL. 1 & 2 TP on sale 11.24 $19.95 each trade paperback full color ??? pages written & illustrated by HOWARD CHAYKIN cover by HOWARD CHAYKIN CONCEPT In 2031, chaos was the new world order: Worldwide nuclear and chemical conflict, environmental disasters, and nationalism had driven the United States government - and the corporations that owned it - to the relative safety of the planet Mars, and the government and corporations, now renamed the PLEX, ran things in absentia from the red planet. The only real law on Earth was enforced by the PLEXUS RANGERS. REUBEN FLAGG had been the star of a television series dramatizing the fictional adventures of one such Plexus Ranger. When Flagg was replaced by a hologram, he was drafted into the Plexus Rangers, and assigned to protect the city of Chicago. In partnership with RAUL, the smartest talking cat alive, and LUTHER IRONHEART, the stupidest robot ever, and surrounded by a horde of the most beautiful women of the 21st century, Flagg faced an uphill battle protecting and defending the American way of life - or rather, what's left of it. This is AMERICAN FLAGG! - created, written, and illustrated by HOWARD CHAYKIN - and winner of numerous awards and honors, including nine Eagle Awards! The first trade paperback collects issues 1 through 6 ("Hard Times" and "Southern Comfort"). The second features issues 7 through 12 ("State of the Union" and "Solidarity -- For Now"). The first volume also reprints the nine-page prelude written and illustrated by CHAYKIN that was never printed in the original comic!
