Spectacular and significant cover by the master! There's also a bit of Black Kiss on it 😉

A vibrant cover with real punch. Chaykin at his best! In addition to being a superbly executed cover, this piece neatly sums up the core themes of the series' early issues.

So I expect from now on all your art that is NFS you will spray paint NoT For Sale on them? Pretty bold move there Rick. Pretty bold.

This collection was my first exposure to American Flagg! back in the mid-1990s (I stuck to Marvel and DC as a kid in the 1980s).  I picked it up from a Bud Plant catalog, and I remember being blown away by it.  A classic image from a groundbreaking series!

Some of the best by Chaykin, and I'm sure even more impressive in person at that size! Congrats!

Absolutely gorgeous!  If I ever make it out there to see the Grell painting, will definitely have to include this on the tour as well.

Howard Chaykin in mid 80's peak form! I love how you're bringing out a big gun as we finish off this calendar year, Rick!

For a second, I thought this cover was for sale.  Great storytelling on the image where Chaykin uses Flagg to tell us he ain't selling out.

Scatchamagowza!  Eeshk!  Now THAT'S a signature and indelible image.  Yowza!  Incredible color choice to assure maximum impact and that this piece absolutely CANNOT be ignored.  This must be insane to see in person, at that earth-shaking size.  MEGA-congrats, Rick!  A signature jewel among the many in your collection!  Superb!
