The 'Nam #22

Marvel's unflinching Vietnam War series continues with issue #22, cover-dated September 1988. Bob Camp's cover splits the scene dramatically: above ground, the boots and legs of armed soldiers stand over a kneeling captive, while below, in a cramped, dimly lit tunnel, a bloodied prisoner is held at gunpoint by figures closing in on all sides. Doug Murray's grounded storytelling pairs with Wayne Vansant's interior art to bring the gritty, ground-level humanity of the war to life — and "Thanks for Thanksgiving" is a title that promises some pointed irony to go along with the tension.
