The 'Nam #27

Two soldiers in combat gear surge through a jungle waterway, weapons blazing, while a massive serpent writhes in the bloody water at their feet — Ron Wagner's cover crackles with the raw, desperate energy that made The 'Nam one of Marvel's most compelling series of 1989. Doug Murray and Sam Glanzman bring their unflinching ground-level perspective to "Like a Candle in the Wind," a title that hints at the fragile, fleeting nature of survival in the field. If you've been following this series for its gritty authenticity, issue #27 looks like it delivers exactly that.
