“The Bombs Bursting...”

Two American soldiers clash in a raw, rain-soaked brawl right on the cover of The 'Nam #18 — one smaller GI in full combat gear grappling furiously with a larger, red-haired soldier who's winding up a punch, both men's faces twisted with rage. John Beatty's cover linework captures the ugly, personal side of the Vietnam War that made this series stand apart from conventional war comics. With Doug Murray writing and Wayne Vansant on interior art, "The Bombs Bursting..." promises the same gritty, ground-level authenticity that defined The 'Nam in 1988.
