VIETNAM JOURNAL COMIC BOOK WAR 'NAM BIRDS OF PREY AIR CAV HUEY SLICKS DON LOMEX
VIETNAM JOURNAL COMIC BOOK!
Hard to find COLLECTOR'S ITEM!
Vietnam Journal by Don Lomax is one of the best comic book portrayals of Vietnam ever. It's probably one of the best works ever put down in any art form about the war. Lomax created Vietnam Journal back in the 1980’s for Apple Comics.
Written and illustrated by veteran Don Lomax, here is the Vietnam War told in an extraordinary graphic novel. The stories may be fiction, but their intensity and emotional resonance point to social and personal truths that go beyond mere facts.
The troops in Vietnam call war correspondent Scott Neithammer "Journal." His editors sent him to Southeast Asia to write what was happening in South Vietnam. But Neithammer discovers quickly that the real story about the Vietnam War was not at division or battalion headquarters. It was in the bush with soldiers who live with the slime, the stink, the constant fear and frustration of fighting a war that "the powers that be" would not let them win.
Sent to Vietnam to report on the conflict, Scott "Journal" Neithammer expects to do no more than produce another sterilized war report. However, he soon realizes that, "the real story was in the bush with the slime, the stink, the constant fear and frustration." Each episode is a mix of the absurd and horrific as Journal befriends an ever-changing cast of doomed soldiers. As he confronts the death, illogic, and contradiction around him, he becomes as conflicted as the war itself, finally losing his journalistic objectivity in a fit of frustrated rage. The black-and-white artwork is powerful, and Journal's world is a rumpled fusion of realism and caricature. Particularly moving are the few instances where a single image fills the page.
VIETNAM JOURNAL, the comic, was introduced by Apple Comics in 1987.
Vietnam War veteran Don Lomax created Scott “Journal” Neithammer who wants to tell the "truth" about Vietnam. Much like Lomax Journal is also a war veteran of the Korean War. Soon Journal discovers that there are many different
versions of truth and that some are safer to tell than others.
Soon though, Journal realizes it’s impossible to remain a noncombatant in this war. At times equally funny and horrifying, one can really feel the authors hand desperately wanted to tell the reader his story.
There is no better person than Lomax to tell this story. He was drafted into the Army in the fall of l965 at the age of 21, took basic at Fort Knox, AIT at Aberdeen, Maryland and was shipped out to Vietnam in the fall of 1966 on the USS General John Pope. At times it seems like the self taught Lomax was destined to tell this story in comic book form. Growing up, he was a huge fan of war comics like Blazing Combat and Two-Fisted Tales which is why his art has that EC-inflected style.
This comic book was never available to the mass market and was only sold in comic book specialty shops.

IN COUNTRY 'NAM COMIC BOOK VIETNAM WAR MILITARY AMERICA USA VINTAGE RARE OOP '86
IN COUNTRY 'NAM COMIC BOOK!
Hard to find COLLECTOR'S ITEM!
The war in Viet Nam, fought in the jungles and mud, was unlike any other war America had fought before. Despite the intentions of those in charge, it became a war about individuals, not global ideals. The goal of this title is gritty realism, with the focus on small-unit combat situations. The stories are driven by details and factual information, which unfortunately lessens the air of danger and suspense that should be present. Even the personalities of the characters revolve more around their ranks or duties than the plight of the soldiers themselves. So, even though the scenarios are fairly accurate depictions of how the military forces functioned and how events unfolded, the reader is given no personal stake in the soldiers’ plight or the outcome of any particular battle.

VIETNAM WAR COMIC BOOK 'NAM HIGH SHINING BRASS AMERICAN SPY VINTAGE POW MIA OOP

VIETNAM WAR COMIC BOOK! HIGH SHINING BRASS
the true story of an American Spy in Vietnam
Hard to find COLLECTOR'S ITEM!
Vietnam Journal by Don Lomax is one of the best comic book portrayals of Vietnam ever. It's probably one of the best works ever put down in any art form about the war. Lomax created Vietnam Journal back in the 1980’s for Apple Comics.
High Shining Brass was a series from Don Lomax, the creator of Fire Team. It told the actual story of a soldier named Bob Durand who fought in the Viet Nam Conflict. Durand was a member of a black-ops team, code-named “Shining Brass.” The series retold the horrific atrocities witnessed and performed by the once naïve special forces member.
Durand’s group was under the command of a combined force, comprised of every branch of the services, and headed up by the ever-popular Central Intelligence Committee—here showing what an oxymoron that name can be. It’s a journey into a shadow world of treachery and deceit—and immensely critical of the way lives of Americans were traded about carelessly during the war in Viet Nam.
Vietnam War veteran Don Lomax created Scott “Journal” Neithammer who wants to tell the "truth" about Vietnam. Much like Lomax Journal is also a war veteran of the Korean War. Soon Journal discovers that there are many different
versions of truth and that some are safer to tell than others.
Soon though, Journal realizes it’s impossible to remain a noncombatant in this war. At times equally funny and horrifying, one can really feel the authors hand desperately wanted to tell the reader his story.

Product Description
From the acclaimed writer of the hit series PREACHER, these are the finest war comics ever to see print in the modern age.
The Night Witches' begins with a bang, as Lieutenant Anna Kharkova is posted to single-seat fighter aircraft and sent straight into action. Hardened and embittered by the loss of her comrades, Anna is only too keen to get her teeth into the enemy- but with Russian and German armies about to collide in the titanic battle of Kursk, her first flight with her new squadron may well be her last. And once the Soviet secret police start sniffing around, death in battle may well be preferable anyway...
Horrific losses land Anna with the very last thing she wants: more responsibility, in the shape of eight young replacement pilots to be trained for combat. But with the Battle of Kursk reaching its climax, rookies are nothing but lambs to the slaughter- and even the most experienced pilots find themselves flying on borrowed time. The former Night Witch meets her destiny
Ennis’s enthusiasm for the genre and respect for his subject matter shines through, leaving the reader with stories of 20th century warfare that are unlikely to leave them when the book is closed.

VIETNAM WAR GRAPHICNOVEL HARVEY PEKAR AMERICAN SPLENDOR
AMERICAN SPLENDOR GRAPHIC NOVEL - UNSUNG HERO
AFRICAN AMERICAN SOLDIER IN VIETNAM
Hard to find COLLECTOR'S ITEM!
Written by Harvey Pekar. Art by David Collier.
Few authors are able to capture an honest snapshot of everyday life the way Harvey Pekar can. From ruminations on jazz musicians to back problems and traffic tickets, Pekar writes in a clear, unsentimental voice that not only explores the mundane, but celebrates it as well. This time out, Pekar focuses his sharp literary eye on Robert McNeill, an ordinary man who's lived an extraordinary life. McNeill recounts his time spent as a G.I. in Vietnam, on a tour through that surreal and horrific landscape that even now, thirty years later, we're struggling to define.
Unsung Hero is a tale of cynicism and endurance, tempered by McNeill's distinct sense of humor and Pekar's touching wit. American Splendor: Unsung Hero is the first Dark Horse collection from the long-running comic-book series that inspired the upcoming American Splendor feature film! The film version of American Splendor won the prestigious Grand Jury Prize at this year's Sundance Film Festival and has earned both critical and popular acclaim! Softcover, 80 pages

Too bad the enemy have a new tank of their own, the mighty King Tiger, with twice the armour and firepower of the original.

PEARL HARBOR THE COMIC BOOK #1 WORLD WAR 2 USA JAPAN!!!

PEARL HARBOR THE COMIC BOOK #1
OUT OF PRINT. HARD TO FIND COLLECTOR'S ITEM.
On December 7th, 1941, a combined Imperial Japanese Navy air force attacked Hawaii, with devastating results. The disaster propelled and united America into total retaliation that resulted in the atomic holocausts of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And yet, most of us have only seen the tip of the iceberg on the voyage that led to Pearl Harbor. In recognition of the upcoming 60th anniversary of the event, and based on newly discovered and declassified information, Pearl Harbor: The Comic Book will present the most accurate account of these events to date, adding the lesser-known stories. Written and drawn by Luftwaffe/World War II/Kamikaze: 1946 artist Ted Nomura, whose family fought on the Japanese side, and is a serving member in the U.S. armed forces. This situation gives him the unique opportunity of a non-biased view of this important chapter in U.S. history. Part 1 covers the road that led to the destruction of the battleship USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor.
Also includes a Forward describing the background history of diplomatic and political relations between the United States and Japan that would eventually lead to Pearl Harbor.
No fictional characters will be used in this special true-to-history edition, because truth is indeed stranger than fiction!
THIS ITEM WAS ONLY AVAILABLE IN COMIC BOOK SPECIALTY SHOPS AND CANNOT BE FOUND IN ANY MASS MARKET RETAIL OUTLET.
Vivid beautifully drawn and colored by Nomura who is a master of the war genre in graphic novels. Although not a movie tie in it was published at the same time as the movie "Pearl Harbor" was released.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

WAR STORY GRAPHIC NOVEL: D DAY DODGERS
OUT OF PRINT. HARD TO FIND COLLECTOR'S ITEM FEATURING WW2 IN ITALY.
Ennis shows us the Italian campaign through the eyes of a replacement Lieutenant, fresh out of England, who has to earn the respect of his mostly Irish subordinates, and deal with a fatalistic Captain.
Higgins art is luminous, as he portrays the beauty of Italy, contrasted to the devastation of war. The book ends with a series of full-page spreads that are stunning.
Product Description
From the acclaimed writer of the hit series PREACHER, these are the finest war comics ever to see print in the modern age.
D-DAY DODGERS tells the story of the thousands of war-weary, and largely forgotten, young Allied soldiers fighting in the blood, dust, snow and mud of the Italian country side while the world's attention was riveted by the war in France. This action-packed and powerful story stands as moving tribute to the too-often mistreated men fighting in the trenches of any war.
The "D-Day Dodgers" fighting in Italy are accused of cowardice for escaping the "real" war.
based apon "The Ballard of the D-Day Dodgers" Which Lady Astor was accused of making an offensive speech on the men who continued to fight up Italy's country side towards Germany instead of Fighting on the Beaches of Normandy. There's never been proof she made light of those who continued the advancement up Italy as bad. But, shortly someone made the infamous Ballard of these brave soldiers which pokes at Lady Astor comments rather true or not.

VIETNAM JOURNAL COMIC BOOK WAR 'NAM VINTAGE POWs MIA 68

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

VIETNAM JOURNAL COMIC BOOK!
Hard to find COLLECTOR'S ITEM!
Vietnam Journal by Don Lomax is one of the best comic book portrayals of Vietnam ever. It's probably one of the best works ever put down in any art form about the war. Lomax created Vietnam Journal back in the 1980’s for Apple Comics.
This issue:
COASTAL PINK and ALMOND EYES
Contains an essay on what was going on "back in the world" on JAN 3-5, 1968. Also includes an essay on POWs.
Written and illustrated by veteran Don Lomax, here is the Vietnam War told in an extraordinary graphic novel. The stories may be fiction, but their intensity and emotional resonance point to social and personal truths that go beyond mere facts.
The troops in Vietnam call war correspondent Scott Neithammer "Journal." His editors sent him to Southeast Asia to write what was happening in South Vietnam. But Neithammer discovers quickly that the real story about the Vietnam War was not at division or battalion headquarters. It was in the bush with soldiers who live with the slime, the stink, the constant fear and frustration of fighting a war that "the powers that be" would not let them win.
Sent to Vietnam to report on the conflict, Scott "Journal" Neithammer expects to do no more than produce another sterilized war report. However, he soon realizes that, "the real story was in the bush with the slime, the stink, the constant fear and frustration." Each episode is a mix of the absurd and horrific as Journal befriends an ever-changing cast of doomed soldiers. As he confronts the death, illogic, and contradiction around him, he becomes as conflicted as the war itself, finally losing his journalistic objectivity in a fit of frustrated rage. The black-and-white artwork is powerful, and Journal's world is a rumpled fusion of realism and caricature. Particularly moving are the few instances where a single image fills the page.
VIETNAM JOURNAL, the comic, was introduced by Apple Comics in 1987.
Vietnam War veteran Don Lomax created Scott “Journal” Neithammer who wants to tell the "truth" about Vietnam. Much like Lomax Journal is also a war veteran of the Korean War. Soon Journal discovers that there are many different
versions of truth and that some are safer to tell than others.
Soon though, Journal realizes it’s impossible to remain a noncombatant in this war. At times equally funny and horrifying, one can really feel the authors hand desperately wanted to tell the reader his story.
There is no better person than Lomax to tell this story. He was drafted into the Army in the fall of l965 at the age of 21, took basic at Fort Knox, AIT at Aberdeen, Maryland and was shipped out to Vietnam in the fall of 1966 on the USS General John Pope. At times it seems like the self taught Lomax was destined to tell this story in comic book form. Growing up, he was a huge fan of war comics like Blazing Combat and Two-Fisted Tales which is why his art has that EC-inflected style.
This comic book was never available to the mass market and was only sold in comic book specialty shops.
