The 'Nam #21

Marvel's ground-level Vietnam series continues with issue #21, and Bob Camp's cover sets an immediately tense scene: a red-haired woman in military fatigues stands elevated on a rooftop or ledge, clutching what appears to be a medical tray of instruments, while below her a soldier scrambles away from a roaring explosion that's sending debris and flames into the air. Titled "Do Not Forsake Me," this 1988 entry in Doug Murray and Wayne Vansant's unflinching series suggests the kind of human drama — medical, desperate, urgent — that made The 'Nam stand apart from more fantastical war comics of its era. If you've been following this series for its commitment to authentic, soldier-level storytelling, this issue looks like another compelling chapter.
