Title: Chaykin spins an interesting '50s yarn
Product review: Howard Chaykin has a healthy comics pedigree, working on such titles as: Star Wars, the Shadow, and (probably his greatest work) American Flagg. His style fits the era perfectly. The content of the stoy is adult-oriented and non-superhero, providing a fine alternative to the spandex crowd. I followed the book when it originally came out. Chaykin places the main character in proximity to relevant people and places of the time, somewhat like authors Gore Vidal or John Jakes would. It would play well as a television mini-series. I recommend it to a fan of Chaykin's work or a comic book reader interested in an under-utilized period of American history.
