In Viet Nam they were an elite commando force, but they were court-martialed for a crime they didn’t commit. Escaping from an army stockade, they fled to Los Angeles where they became soldiers of fortune. Still hunted by the army, they became the A-Team: taking on impossible cases for people in trouble.
The A-Team is comprised of a number of people, each with their own particular skills. The crazed “Howling Mad Murdock” is a technician and pilot; “Face” is a pretty boy who uses his charms for undercover work; and Amy Allen had been a reporter investigating the team when she became so impressed that she joined. Led by tactician Hannibal Smith, the team’s real star is strong man B.A. Baracus, better known to fans as Mr. T.
Although spectacularly successful on TV, the A-Team’s comics debut ran for just three issues in 1984.
Product Description Don't worry about choosing sides, because this far into the heart of darkness things get pretty gray. Follow Private Ed Marks and his fellow soldiers through a jungle of blood, lies, betrayal, and valor. It's the war that defined a generation, where the heroes may not be super, but they're all too human.
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,"
This comic book was never available to the mass market and was only sold in comic book specialty shops.

DEVISED BY THE SANDMAN'S NEIL GAIMAN! (WHO PROVIDES ADDITIONAL MATERIAL) Product Details
A very quirky book. This is done not to be outright laugh out loud funny, but if you take that sort of Mystery Men style, cross it with Yes Minister or even the My Hero tv show, and inject some of the pathos from the Wild Cards anthology style with many writers, you are somewhere in the ballpark. Power range from the unnoticeable Invisible Boy to a guy who can turn into a giant frog (that can't swim), to the far more powerful human erectile man, and nasty illusion casters.

Lenore, "the Cute Little Dead Girl" is a fictional character created by Roman Dirge, inspired by the poem "Lenore," by Edgar Allan Poe.
The comic tells of the adventures of the title character, Lenore, and her variety of friends. The primary focus is dark humor, with many of the stories having amusing twist endings. Common themes are the reinvention of children's songs, games, and nursery rhymes to something more macabre, and subverting all sorts of pop culture icons and cultural figures in to topics of dark comedy.
Roman Dirge (born on April 29, 1972) is an artist and magician, and the creator of the Lenore comic-book series; he currently lives in Los Angeles, California.le to find!
With her pale face, huge eyes, skull barrettes, lack of a pulse, and propensity for senseless violence, Lenore could be the next full-fledged, merchandise-ready goth-girl icon. This compendium collects four comics, though there’s no through line anywhere. Rather, each issue is a hodgepodge of stories, poems, twisted fables, and tattoo designs. The jokes are pretty sick and swerve between genius (the taxidermied chipmunk who bemoans his missing back half until Lenore jams a pair of Barbie legs onto it) and the uncomfortably cruel (“Kittie #53” involves the relatively straightforward drowning of a cat). What keeps it afloat—for the right reader, of course—is Lenore’s obliviousness to wrongdoing. When she engages in “13 hours of gnome slaughter,” it’s only because she was overcaffeinated. It’s all a lot funnier and cuter than it sounds, which is a credit to Dirge’s ability to inject personality into his morbid mix of pale colors and black humor. Interestingly, Dirge’s occasional autobiographical intrusions (“Things Involving Me”) steal the show. Review "Through Lenore, roman reminds us that what lurks inside this reanimated ragamuffin is what lurks in...us all..." -- Nivek Ogre, from the introduction
Lenore does all the things the voices in my head want me to do. -- Jessicka, Jack Off Jill
Roman Dirge has the best imagintation this side of Tim Burton. -- Caroline Thompson, writer, Nightmare before Christmas
