Vietnam Journal

Don Lomax’s Vietnam Journal, originally published by ibooks in 2002, is a stark, single-issue war comic that offers an unflinching look at the day-to-day experience of combat journalists covering the Vietnam War. Written and drawn entirely by Lomax, a veteran of the conflict, the book draws on his own memories to ground the story in a gritty, personal realism. Though brief in its initial run, the series stands as a singular, creator-driven document of that war, valued for its authentic perspective from a soldier-turned-cartoonist.
