The 'Nam #4

The cover of The 'Nam #4 frames this 1987 Marvel series through a striking and immediate lens: a combat cameraman stands front and center, his TV camera raised to his eye with flames visible in its viewfinder, while a crowd of weary, battle-worn soldiers fills the background and military helicopters cut through the sky above. Michael Golden's linework pulls the media's role in Vietnam into sharp focus, tying the whole image neatly to the story title "Six O'Clock News." It's a thoughtful, grounded chapter in one of Marvel's most earnest attempts to portray the Vietnam War with honesty and humanity.
