In 2031, chaos is the new world order. Worldwide nuclear and chemical conflict, environmental disasters and nationalism have driven the United States government - and the corporations that own it - to the relative safety of the planet Mars. The government and its parent companies, now renamed the PLEX, run things in absentia from the red planet. The only real law on Earth is enforced by the Plexus Rangers. Reuben Flagg was 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. Along with Raul, the smartest talking cat alive, and Luther Ironheart, the stupidest robot ever, and surrounded by a bevy of the most beautiful women of the 21st century, Flagg faces an uphill battle protecting and defending the American way of life...or rather, what's left of it.… (mehr)

A classic work of cyberpunk graphic literature from the 1980s, and clearly an inspiration for the cyberpunk game Shadowrun. Chaykin uses the classic “good cop comes to a corrupt town” motif to drive the story, pitting Reuben Flagg, Plexus Ranger, against criminals, politicians, and conspiracies in a vision of the 2030s that seemed somewhat more plausible at the time. The story has plenty of action, plenty of social satire, a fair bit of raunchiness, and a great talking cat. This volume uses a series of manageable conflicts as exposition for the large-scale conspiracies that Flagg has to battle. ( )

American Flagg! is an impressive work of comics art. Howard Chaykin has both graphic and verbal skills that are truly singular, and his approach to page layout and design is second-to-none. Reuben Flagg himself is a rich character; not entirely original, but certainly charming, charismatic, and endlessly inventive in ways that make for a really compelling narrative. Considering that these pages were originally created in the early-to-mid 1980's, Chaykin's ability to forecast trends in media saturation is notable, and his recognition of the unfortunate role of violent ethnic and nationalist loyalties in the shaping of daily human affairs is handled with aplomb - an impressive feat for the supposedly second-class art form of comics.
