	American Flagg! - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		American Flagg was one of the first influential comic series that took mature subject matter into the mainstream and still remains one of the quintessential comics of the independent publishing boom of the 1980s.
		In the wake of the American government leaving the planet and the Soviet Union collapsing from Islamic insurrections, there was a power shift throughout the world, with Brazilian Union of the Americas and the Pan-African League becoming the new superpowers on Earth.
		Flagg was arrested in Europe, the Plexmall was destroyed in an accident, and Illinois re-joined the Union.

		This version of the Fighting American was treated as more of a continuation of the original than the DC one (which had been a straight forward revamp), and plans were afoot before they gave up publishing the character to have him team up with his Golden Age incarnation.

		American Flagg for me has always been one of those "people have told me bout it, I've read the accolades for it, but never seen a copy of it anywhere" books.
		I personally liked Flagg a lot until I reached the point where I couldn't quite get straight which villain was which and what their respective vendettas was.

		In any case, Flagg is no longer an actor, and has instead been drafted into the Plexus Rangers, a pseudo-military organization dedicated to maintaining the peace.
		Flagg doesn't necessarily want to deal with it, but he's being thrust into a corrupt and over-commercialized situation that's about as stable as the wildest of western towns in the mid- to late-1800s.

	Frederick Jackson Turner
		Central to Turner's frontier thesis is the notion that the development of the American frontier helped to shape not only the character of the American people but also the nature of its institutions.
		With his announcement of the "closing" of the frontier, moreover, Turner implied that the nation would be forced to undergo a painful transition, from a perception of America as a land of endless boundaries, to one which required Americans to accept that their nation was finally a closed-space world, replete with the limitations inherent therein.
		Turner's thesis was not especially well received initially; on the contrary, many of his contemporaries could not let go of the reified idea that America's various political and social institutions germinated in pre-colonial England and, before that, in medieval Germany.

		It was published by First Comics, a start-up comics company that made a large but brief splash in the 1980s, with titles including E-Man, Grimjack, and Jon Sable, Freelance, and which had its last gasp with a Classics Illustrated revival in 1990-91.
		Chaykin's Flagg is still highly regarded by many comics readers — but like much near-future science fiction, events have passed it by, rendering it just an interesting period piece.

	Comic Book Galaxy - Pushing Comix Forward Since 2000.
		The story follows Rueben Flagg, an ex-porn star from the popular show Mark Thrust, Sexus Ranger (a porn/drama that might seem at home on Cinemax) as he embarks on a new career as a "Plexus Ranger," a law enforcement officer on the mean streets of Chicago in 2031.
		Flagg, a true comic book alpha male, sleeps with no less than three women in this first story arc.
		From the square-jawed protagonist, to the scantily clad women, Chaykin's artwork reminds me of Frank Miller's classic Dark Knight Returns (helped in no small part by the fact that the first 2 issues were colored by DKR colorist Lynn Varley) though it predated it by three years.
