Gulf War Journal #[nn]

In "Read My Lips: No More Vietnams!," Ted and Frank venture into the mountains to convince Ed "Journal" Neithammer to cover the Gulf War as a reporter, navigating the weight of history and the uncertain stakes of a conflict that many hoped would be different. Written by an unnamed author and illustrated by an unnamed artist, the story captures the tense atmosphere and personal stakes behind the scenes of a war that promised to be a turning point.

In "Turn And Burn," Journal finds himself caught between duty and deception as the pressure mounts in the days leading up to the ground invasion. With forward observers calling in strikes just across the border, he begins to suspect the CIA is manipulating the mission—forcing him to question what he’s really fighting for.

In "Patriot," Journal and his photographer abandon official channels to uncover the raw, unfiltered truth behind the Gulf War, risking everything to tell stories the military would rather keep hidden. Their journey into the shadows reveals a conflict far more complex than the headlines suggest.

In "Warthog," Journal and Gajaba navigate the tense silence of a covert mission into Iraq, where a shared history and the thunder of A-10 Warthog jets underscore a journey marked by memory and war. As the roar of the aircraft cuts through the desert air, Journal uncovers the weight of Gajaba’s past—revealed in fragments from the invasion of Kuwait—while the reality of combat shapes their path forward.

In "Scud Alley," Journal and Gajaba survive a terrifying misfire from U.S. A-10s only to be captured by the Iraqi Army and thrust into a harrowing ordeal. As they endure captivity, Journal gains a stark, unsettling perspective on the war from the other side of the line.
