AMERICAN FLAGG! OMNIBUS (Howard Chaykin)

[Benoit1 (Benoît)]

American Flagg! omnibus
Writer & artist: Howard Chaykin
Arriving: January 6, 2027

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 #1-30 and the AMERICAN FLAGG! SPECIAL.

This fully remastered

Ça, c’est inquiétant.

[Benoit1 (Benoît)]

Pour quelle raison? Tu penses à une recolorisation moderne?

[Jim_Laine (Jean-Marc Lainé)]

J’ai vu aussi passer des retouches de visage sur de « vieilles » productions de Chaykin, il me semble qu’American Flagg! est concerné. À moins que ce ne soit Time2. Ce qui ne me rassure pas.

Et American Flagg sera consterné.

@Benoit1

Tu penses à une recolorisation moderne?

Ah, voilà, j’ai retrouvé.
C’est dans le Time2 Omnibus.

@Jim_Laine

Oui, c’est un peu inquiétant : Chaykin semble avoir aussi mauvais goût que Neal Adams en matière de couleur.

Un exemple de ce que ça donne avec une colo plus « moderne » :

The second page (below) is the original solicitation for the first Time² story, taken from the first (and only?) American Flagg! Special (November 1986).

The page up top is a brand new solicitation for the third installment in Howard Chaykin ’s Time² series (this one entitled Hallowed Ground ) coming from Image Comics next year. It appears in the sixth issue of The Divided States of Hysteria (November 2017).

S’il fait pareil pour American Flagg!, c’est inquiétant.

Quel carnage.

La douche froide.

Je croise les doigts pour qu’ils n’effectuent pas une recolorisation.
