This trade paperback collects the first six issues of the Image comics series "Satellite Sam" by Howard Chaykin and Mat Fraction. I am not familiar with Mr. Fraction or his work, but Howard Chaykin is one of my favorite artist who survived the collapse of the first Indy comics book of the late 70s early 80s. I bought the book on the strength of Mr. Chaykin's art alone. The fact that the comic series is set in the 50s is another selling point, although I should admit I was too young to remember very much of the 50s. The story begins as a whodunnit with the star of a 50s television show - Satellite Sam - founded dead in a hotel room. His perpetually drunk son is tapped to fill in as the titular character at a moments notice and thus the epic tale begins. The story is marginally complex - characters are thrown at the reader without much explanation of who they are or what their place in the story is, and the reader is left to work it out by following the story. This is a bit better method than the usual comic book practice of having a recap at the start of each issue, but it might work better if the characters looked a little less alike. Most of the men are square-headed, mustached, and slightly the worse for where so it's hard at first read to tell one character apart from the other. I was forced to go thru the little bios at the end of the book to figure out who some of the people in the story were. My only other major complaint was with all the swearing. My family were foresters, logger and farmers, so I grew up around people who cursed a lot, and I will say that in my experience, folks in the 50s and 60s did NOT drop the "F-bomb" every other word.
