Hi Dave. I generally like Chaykin's art. Two things annoy me though:
1. Dominic Fortune, Reuben Flagg, 1950s Nick Fury... they could all seriously be the same guy. Chaykin makes no effort to delineate the appearance of the characters;
2. Chaykin is an unrepentant socialist. So even in Avengers 1959 or whatever it was called, the 50s Avengers fight Nazis, not Soviets. As far as I've ever seen, Chaykin can't bring himself to disparage the evils of State communism. (Perhaps my sample pool is too small.)
I really liked Amerikan Flagg!, and in fact still have all twelve issues in my bookshelf. (Amerikan Flagg! was the sequel to American Flagg!). I accidentally picked up an issue of Black Kiss. It was very explicit, with a nasty gang rape scene.
