The 'Nam #73

This opening chapter of "Siege at An Loc" sets a compelling scene right on the cover: a press correspondent in olive fatigues hunches over a typewriter atop a wooden crate, an M16 and camera bag beside him, while ghostly blue figures — armed soldiers on both sides of the conflict — loom ominously in the background. The contrast between the solitary journalist at his typewriter and the swirling combat imagery around him captures the human tension at the heart of The 'Nam's storytelling. With cover pencils by Mike Harris and inks by Mark McKenna, this 1992 two-parter promises the grounded, unflinching look at the Vietnam War that made this series stand apart.
