The 'Nam #71

The cover of The 'Nam #71 drops you right into the chaos of "Operation: Chicken Lips, Part 2 of 3" — a soldier in full combat gear clings to a rope dangling from a helicopter, explosions erupting behind him while a lone figure silhouettes against a fireball in the distance. Cover pencils by Mike Harris and inks by Mark McKenna give the scene a taut, kinetic energy that perfectly captures the tension Marvel's long-running Vietnam War series delivered month after month in 1992. The POW·MIA emblem anchoring the lower corner is a quiet, sobering reminder of the human stakes driving every issue of this series.
