SOURCE-Marvel Comics TPB
By the mid 80s almost no War comix were coming out from the big companies. Then Marvel got Doug Murrey an Larry Hama,both Nam vets,to write a series. And the first 12 issues got gorgeous Michael Golden art.
Now back when this was coming out I skipped it. Figured it coming out from Marvel and hitting the newstands it would be toned down crap. Boy was I wrong.
This TPB reprints the first 4 issues. Where we get introduced to our first lead. Seeing how he goes from BCT to learning how to stay alive over in Vietnam. And slowly over the next few issues we see Mark,our lead,adapt to his new life.
Out of the 4 issues the one that stood out the most was issue 4. The greedy Sgt has a reporter that is gonna film a troop clearing some Charlie out of a village. Shit hits the fan and we learn a pile about this Sgt's past.
This TPB is an odd size. It is slightly taller and wider than your normal comic. But the art on the inside just has white borders on all four sides,instead of making the art bigger. Which I would have loved.
The 'Nam Volume 1 gets a A-
Love the glossary at the front,to explain the various lingo in the book.
