The 'Nam #31

A soldier armed with an automatic rifle lurks in a shadowy doorway marked by a cross, while in the foreground a GI in dog tags and glasses reads a vintage copy of Strange Tales featuring Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. — a quiet, telling moment of a serviceman finding an escape between the tension. The warm glow of a red lamp anchors this intimate, layered scene, rendered with striking contrast by cover artists Ron Wagner and Andy Kubert. The 'Nam #31 continues Marvel's grounded, human-scale approach to the Vietnam War, with "Fire and Ice" promising another chapter from writer Doug Murray and artist Wayne Vansant that keeps one foot in the lived reality of the conflict.
