John Vest On CR Holiday Interview #12: Matt Fraction
posted January 4, 2009
 

I enjoyed your interview with Matt Fraction. Picking up the early issues of Casanova as they were published reminded me of the pleasure of buying American Flagg in a comic shop 25 years ago.

In a vague way Matt Fraction's Iron Man also reminds me of American Flagg. The series has a protagonist in a high government position surrounded by women, the futuristic action, the humor and the sex. And in a modern Marvel way the episodic quality of the first arc kinda shares a sense of continuity with the old Lee/Colan cliffhangers from Tales Of Suspense.
