Beginning with early interviews in fanzines and concluding with a new interview conducted in 2010 with the volume's editor,
Howard Chaykin: Conversations collects widely ranging discussions from Chaykin's earliest days as an assistant for such legends as Gil Kane and Wallace Wood to his work on titles including
Dominic Fortune,
Challengers of the Unknown, and
American Century. The book includes 35 line illustrations selected from Chaykin, as well. He was an early pioneer in the graphic novel format in the 1970s, and his groundbreaking sci-fi satire
American Flagg! was an essential contribution to the maturation of the comic book as a vehicle for social commentary in the 1980s.
