In "Humpin' the Boonies," veteran writer Doug Murray and artist Michael Golden deliver a gripping, character-driven tale set in the heart of the Vietnam War. Through the eyes of Duong, a Kit-Carson scout navigating a divided loyalty, the story unfolds with quiet intensity, capturing the weight of survival and choice in a war that never ends. The dynamic collaboration between Golden’s bold pencils and Wayne Vansant’s inks, enhanced by Phil Felix’s rich colors and Kurt Hathaway’s sharp lettering, brings a raw authenticity to this powerful moment in The 'Nam series.
