Tales of the Green Beret

Blackthorne's 1986 one-shot Tales of the Green Beret offers a gritty, patriotic tribute to the U.S. Army Special Forces, adapting real-world military exploits into comic form. The series is most strongly associated with writer and Vietnam veteran Larry Hama, whose firsthand experience lends authenticity to the tactical action and soldierly camaraderie. Though it consists of a single issue, it stands as a focused, respectful snapshot of the Green Beret ethos during the Cold War era.
