Vietnam Journal #1

"The Field Jacket!" is a gripping first chapter in Don Lomax’s Vietnam Journal, a raw and personal account drawn from the creator’s own experiences. As Journal joins a mission to evacuate a reconnaissance team, a sudden helicopter crash strands him deep in the jungle, forcing him to navigate a treacherous landscape and confront the aftermath of a firebase overrun by the Viet Cong the previous night. Rendered with stark authenticity by Lomax, whose work as writer, artist, and inker brings the story to life, the issue captures the weight of survival and the haunting silence of war. The cover by Clem Robins perfectly sets the tone—somber, immediate, and unflinching.
