Howard Chaykin – författare

A landmark of 1980s comics, American Flagg! is Howard Chaykin’s groundbreaking sci-fi classic about media manipulation, corporate fascism, and one reluctant hero fighting back.From its 1983 debut, American Flagg! was a breakout success, emerging from a new generation of small publishers, imprints now lost to history. Award-winning, narratively and graphically audacious, and ridiculously influential, its impact on comic book storytelling is still being felt today, in a story comically – and sometimes frighteningly – prescient about the world in which we live. It got some things wrong, but man, it got a lot more right. A lot. This fully remastered 1,064-page collection includes Howard Chaykin’s run on the series’ first 30 issues – more than half of which have never before been collected - plus the American Flagg! Special, all the Flagg! shorts from the years since, and a host of extras, in addition to an all-new 26-page story created for this volume. Collects American Flagg! Vol. 1 Issues 1-30, American Flagg! Special

A classic comic adaptation from the acclaimed fantasy author Michael Moorcock!In this story Erekose assumes the role of "Clen of Clen-Gar," a noble of the land called the "Dream Marches", part of a greater land called "Heaven".He befriends a peaceful race of beings known as "Angels", who can best be described in one of their forms as flying manatees. In the day-time, they gracefully float through Heaven, absorbing water vapour from the air, and by night they release the stored water as acid rain upon a neighboring land coincidentally called "Hell", whose savage inhabitants live in poverty compared to the luxury of Heaven and the Dream Marches. The angels can also assume an insectoid form similar to human sized ant-men.
