Creator of comics like American Flagg and Satellite Sam, he spoke about everything from just how few comic readers there are, to how even less of those comic readers know who he is Describing himself as the Randy Newman of comics, Mr Chaykin believes people know him for his unfortunate run on Star Wars several[...]

One of the comic books I enjoyed the most the past year was Satellite Sam by Matt Fraction and Howard Chaykin, a procedural television show from the fifties embroiled in organised crime, murder and sexual depravity… At Heroes Con, it was announced that after the final issue, out soon, the series will continue in 2016 or[...]

The cover to Satellite Sam #14 by Howard Chaykin…  And a photo of undetermined origin… In Swipe File we present two or more images that resemble each other to some degree They may be homages, parodies, ironic appropriations, coincidences or works of the lightbox We trust you, the reader, to make that judgment yourself? If you are[...]

Matt Fraction has the end of his and Howard Chaykin's period masterpiece Satellite Sam in sight The home stretch of SATELLITE SAM lies under my shoes; with luck, I will finish this week Most of the issues of "volume three" (subtitled something like 'Satellite Sam and the Limestone Caves of Fire') span more than twenty pages; I[...]

Back in January, Matt Fraction talked about the scope and future of Satellite Sam, his Image comic with Howard Chaykin.  "The Death of Satellite Sam," "Satellite Sam and the Snuff-Fuck Kinescope," and "Satellite Sam and the Limestone Caves of Fire." All together, those'll tell the story of Michael and Carlyle and the Le Monde Network and[...]

Oh and members of the KKK, because it's that kind of comic. And for an unprecedented third portion of Chaykin in one, week, he's a little more restrained in the new Satellite Sam, giving us the joy of special effects in the fifties And it's an absolute joy It worked, it worked… and we know how magic[...]

I think he's getting a lot out of his system. Presenting… the Satellite Sam Tijuana Bible Did you get your facsimile free version of this publication? Not if you lived in the UK you didn't… Revival names the inevitable Sharknado spinoff as the franchise begins to grow in stature… The internet, in flesh form, folks, courtesy of[...]

British comic book retailers have been told by Diamond UK that the Satellite Sam Tijuana Bible incentive will not be available within these shores. Image Comics had previously announced that a fictional "Tijuana bible", based on the small press pornographic publications that lampooned cartoon figures, sports stars and actors from the twenties to the sixties, would feature[...]

That and the topless woman with the strap on on page one as well, of course. Sorry Satellite Sam, you have reckoned without Real Lives Of The Elephant Dung Carriers, coming to CBS this fall. Amazing X-Men continues to break comics Because this is the new reality Someone dies, you go to heaven and/or hell and drag[...]

This mop up job is as close as you get this month. Thankfully Satellite Sam is there to keep the ante upped And the thin dressing room walls play perfectly with the panels of the comics and the thin gutters between them… I'd like to think that this hallucinatory issue of Chew looks odder than usual, but[...]

Are you a mutant, or are you a man? If you're a man that makes you a mutant of a man. Wolverine & The X-Men prepares for the end… Satellite Sam #5 gives us a blow job scene, but one that's far more of a head job, focusing on faces rather than genitalia – the participants and[...]

And Nightmare Nurse has clearly had her wicked way with the smoky man. The Great Pacific goes for more erotic suggestion, naked feet and a dropped robe saying so much… it's quite distracting, don't you think, Satellite Sam? Satellite Sam? Satellite Sam? Matt Fraction points out that ComiXology still has his second issue of Sex Criminals "under[...]

Do I feel the hand of Iscariot lover Dan DiDio in that choice? Satellite Sam, if it's possible, gets even seedier with this issue I hope no one does do anything with these pictures Howard Chaykin has a career to consider drawing Batman as well In comics where he doesn't say "bastard". Sheltered brings out its madness[...]

Satellite Sam breaks out of the orbit of the first issue, but still finds everything just going around and around and around in its own enclosed system. Sheltered #2 gives us a group of young killers… and a rather cold way of dealing with the slaughter of their parents I have to say this is a[...]

Bleeding Cool Magazine article by James Kuhoric Ahhh…summertime. As people roll out their grills for cookouts, vacations, and holidays, the comic world

We thought a repeat may be in order… With a book like this, it's tempting to conjure up a conversation. "Howard, what do you want to draw?" "Sharp suits from the nineteen fifties! Science-fiction! People smoking! Men with jaws! Babes posing in lingerie! Crowd scenes! Metal staircases!" And then Matt Fraction went away and wrote Satellite Sam[...]

With a book like this, it's tempting to conjure up a conversation. "Howard, what do you want to draw?" "Sharp suits from the nineteen fifties! Science-fiction! People smoking! Men with jaws! Babes posing in lingerie! Crowd scenes! Metal staircases!" And then Matt Fraction went away and wrote Satellite Sam It seems to perfectly play on Howard's own interests[...]
