Jannette Kahn at DC addressed the release of Flagg!! with efforts that
eventually ended up in bringing on the Watchman, and Frank Millers work.
But I can't find the original source of this. It was a first hand
account by her at that time, possibly published in an letters column, or
perhaps in Overstreet.

And sources anyone has, or ever recollections which can be accounted here
would be appreciated.

I'm guessing it is too late to chime in, but chime in I will. I recall that Psychology Today ran an article on American Flagg about the same time the first issue shipped.
