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.

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! 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.

The story begins in this issue. Hard to find COLLECTOR'S ITEM!


The 'Nam was an historical fiction series published in comic book form, detailing the U.S. War in Vietnam from the perspective of active-duty soldiers involved in the conflict. It was written by Doug Murray, illustrated by Michael Golden, edited by Larry Hama and published by Marvel Comics.

The creators intended to roughly parallel the analogous events of the period of major American military involvement in Vietnam from 1966 to 1972.

The comic is structured as the narrative of a fictional soldier, Private First Class Edward Marks (but sometimes following other characters), as he experiences real events that occurred during the conflict. Each issue of the comic tells a story that occurs one month after the previous issue.

Vietnam War veteran Larry Hama (creator of the second incarnation of GI JOE in the eighties) contacted fellow vet Doug Murray in 1984 about doing a Vietnam War series for Marvel Comics. Murray said that the comic was, "a pretty accurate view of the way the average soldier looked at the war. It was outside ordinary experience. The world was elsewhere." Murray decided to do the comic book in real-time so that one issue equaled one month to convey the concept of short-time. He said, "Literally everybody had a calendar that kept track of how long they had to go in-country. I really wanted a way to kind of reflect that in the comic book." The actions of the 23rd Infantry were based on fact. This did not mean that they were in every action depicted in the book - only that that historical event actually occurred. In addition, every issue featured a back-of-the-book glossary explaining the authentic lingo of the characters.

During its run, The 'Nam was nominated for the Best New Series category of the 1987 Jack Kirby Awards.

Marine Corps. veteran and former Newsweek editor William Broyles Jr. praised the comic for having, "a certain gritty reality,"

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.

FEATURING MARVEL COMICS THE PUNISHER

prison of war Sgt. Frank Castle found by a Vietnamese solider, hanging in his cell. The soldier enters the cell and Frank springs into action. Castle had faked his hanging by running a length of cloth from his belt to the noose to support his weight. Castle leaves a trail of dead Vietnamese soldiers in his wake as he escapes and sets out to intercept the sniper known as "The Monkey". A group of soldiers find another vietnamese soldier's body tied to a tree with the calling card white skull painted on his carcass and begin to fear the crazy American soldier.

The 'Nam was an historical fiction series published in comic book form, detailing the U.S. War in Vietnam from the perspective of active-duty soldiers involved in the conflict. published by Marvel Comics.

The creators intended to roughly parallel the analogous events of the period of major American military involvement in Vietnam from 1966 to 1972.

The comic is structured as the narrative of fictional soldier's experience in the real events that occurred during the conflict. Each issue of the comic tells a story that occurs one month after the previous issue.

Vietnam War veteran Larry Hama (creator of the second incarnation of GI JOE in the eighties) contacted fellow vet Doug Murray in 1984 about doing a Vietnam War series for Marvel Comics. Murray said that the comic was, "a pretty accurate view of the way the average soldier looked at the war. It was outside ordinary experience. The world was elsewhere." Murray decided to do the comic book in real-time so that one issue equaled one month to convey the concept of short-time. He said, "Literally everybody had a calendar that kept track of how long they had to go in-country. I really wanted a way to kind of reflect that in the comic book." The actions of the 23rd Infantry were based on fact. This did not mean that they were in every action depicted in the book - only that that historical event actually occurred. In addition, every issue featured a back-of-the-book glossary explaining the authentic lingo of the characters.

During its run, The 'Nam was nominated for the Best New Series category of the 1987 Jack Kirby Awards.

Marine Corps. veteran and former Newsweek editor William Broyles Jr. praised the comic for having, "a certain gritty reality,"

VIETNAM JOURNAL COMIC BOOK WAR 'NAM HELICOPTERS SLICKS!

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.

Contains an essay on what was going on "back in the world" on March 22-24th, 1967. Also includes an essay on Col Peter J Stewart USAF. Captured, not killed.

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.
