In 1996, after worldwide calamities, the United States government - and the corporations that owned it - fled to the relative safety of the planet Mars. By 2031, chaos had become the new world order, as the government and corporations, now renamed the Plex, continued to run things in absentia from the red planet. The only real law on Earth was enforced by a small band of hardcases called the Plexus Rangers. Reuben Flagg had been the star of an interplanetarily popular television series dramatizing the fictional adventures of one such Ranger. When Flagg was downsized and replaced by a hologram, he was drafted into the Plexus Rangers. With Raul, the smartest talking cat alive, and Luther Ironheart, the stupidest robot ever, and surrounded by a horde of the most beautiful women of the 21st century, Flagg has an uphill battle protecting and defending the American way of life - or rather, what's left of it. Features the first 12 issues of American Flagg!, the rarely seen prelude story, and additional cover paintings and promotional pieces by Chaykin!
