The 'Nam #16

Marvel's ground-level Vietnam War series delivers another tense chapter with issue #16, cover-dated March 1988. John Beatty's cover pulls no punches: a blindfolded U.S. Army soldier kneels in the grass, hands bound behind him, while two armed figures in black stand over him with rifles leveled — a scene that captures the raw vulnerability at the heart of this series. Doug Murray and Wayne Vansant continue their unsparing look at the human cost of the conflict, making The 'Nam one of the most earnest war comics of its era.
