I remember getting frustrated when reading American Flagg b/c the art would occasionally confuse me. It seems like many modern-day drafters have mimicked the confusing style e.g., Peter Panzerfaust or Justice Inc. I mean the art should be clear such that you know which character is which...<br /><br />That being said, I always remember being thrilled by his cover to Scorpion #1 for the mid-70s Atlas brand. Chaykin's Scorpion and Kaluta's Shadow covers were a nice departure from superheroes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-62216065828292634402014-12-17T10:54:35.402-05:002014-12-17T10:54:35.402-05:00All in all I though it was just 'OK'. 8 pa...All in all I though it was just 'OK'. 8 pages for this story seems way too long. maybe 4 at most. I think pushing the entire key revelation to the last panel of the last page was also a mistake. There should have been a little more build up. The art is also not Chaykin's best and doesn't show many of his signature stylings.
