Vietnam Journal #[nn]
In "The Field Jacket!", Don Lomax delivers a gripping, firsthand account of survival as Journal finds himself stranded in the Vietnamese jungle after a helicopter crash. With the wreckage of a recently overrun firebase looming ahead, he must navigate the treacherous terrain and the weight of his own gear—especially the field jacket that seems to carry more than just memories. Drawn and inked by Lomax himself, with lettering by Clem Robins and a stark cover by Bob Larkin, this 2002 issue captures the raw tension of war through a deeply personal lens.
