American Flagg! #24

In "Mad Dogs & Englishmen! Part 2," Mike Gold and Tim Truman continue their sharp, satirical take on a dystopian future with a story that’s as much a cultural commentary as it is a narrative, layered with the kind of worldbuilding that makes American Flagg! feel both absurd and eerily plausible. This 1985 issue—part of First Comics’ ambitious May release lineup—offers a rare peek behind the curtain with a preview of Tim Truman’s upcoming Time Beavers graphic novel, a thoughtful aside on comics convention etiquette for newcomers, and a full listing of that month’s new titles, all wrapped in Howard Chaykin’s bold, iconic cover art.
