EMPLOYEE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 7/3!!

SATELLITE SAM #1

(W) Matt Fraction (A) Howard Chaykin

 SEX o DEATH o LIVE TV!
NEW YORK CITY, 1951: The host of beloved daily television serial "Satellite Sam" turns up dead in a flophouse filled with dirty secrets. The police think it was death by natural causes but his son knows there was something more... if only he could sober up long enoguh to do something about it. This noir mystery shot through with sex and violence exposes the seedy underbelly of the golden age of television.

Normally when you get "sex and violence" in a solicit, one must assume it is being used just to help sell a book cuz they can't think of any better way to push it, but when you've got a name like Howard Chaykin involved, well, this sh*t just went to NC-17, baby. Get ready for the golden age of dirty secrets as Matt Fraction and Chaykin bring you the filthy, glitzy and glamorous underside of the American delusion! For fans of American Flagg, American Splendor, Casanova and Black Kiss!!
