The 'Nam #75

The cover of this December 1992 issue says it all in a single, searing word — "BURN" — blazing in white beside a robed, shaven-headed figure seated on the ground, a lit flame in his hands and a gasoline can nearby, clearly on the verge of self-immolation while onlookers, including soldiers in military khaki, react with visible alarm in the background. Herb Trimpe's pencils and Dan Panosian's inks deliver a cover that is quietly devastating, capturing one of the war's most haunting forms of protest with unflinching directness. Writers Doug Murray and Scott Lobdell bring The 'Nam to its 75th issue with a story that promises no easy answers — a fitting milestone for one of Marvel's most grounded explorations of the Vietnam era.
