The 'Nam #26

The cover of The 'Nam #26 sets a quietly reflective tone, built around a group photograph of five soldiers in uniform — a snapshot of camaraderie that feels both personal and bittersweet — surrounded by scattered mementos: a matchbook, a coin marked "Vietnam," what appears to be a dog tag, and a partial view of a soldier's face just beyond the frame. Cover art by Ron Wagner gives these ordinary objects a real weight, arranging them like keepsakes pulled from a footlocker. With Doug Murray writing and Wayne Vansant on interior art, this January 1989 issue promises the kind of grounded, human storytelling that made The 'Nam one of Marvel's most distinctive war series.
