Tales of the Green Berets

Jerry Capp and Joe Kubert teamed up for this single-issue 1966 comic from New American Library, a gritty, realistic war story drawn from Kubert’s own experience as a combat artist. It offers a no-frills, boots-on-the-ground look at the Green Berets in Vietnam, avoiding jingoism in favor of a soldier’s-eye view. Though a brief entry, it stands as a distinctive, artist-driven artifact of its era, showcasing Kubert’s raw, dynamic storytelling before his legendary work at DC.
