The 'Nam #9

Four American soldiers in military fatigues — namepatches reading "Thomas," "Marks," and "Little" visible among them — are arranged behind a slight, smiling Vietnamese civilian seated in the foreground, creating an quietly unsettling portrait that captures the human complexity at the heart of this series. Michael Golden's cover art is understated and character-driven, drawing the eye to the interplay of expressions rather than battlefield action. The 'Nam #9 continues Marvel's ground-level look at the Vietnam War, with Doug Murray's story "Pride Goeth..." promising the kind of thoughtful, grounded storytelling that made this 1987 series stand apart.
