Vietnam Journal: Bloodbath at Khe Sanh

Don Lomax’s gritty, self-contained miniseries for Apple Press, Vietnam Journal: Bloodbath at Khe Sanh (1992–1993) plunges readers into the harrowing 77-day siege of the Khe Sanh combat base. A landmark of realistic war comics, it follows the unflinching perspective of journalist Scott ‘Journal’ Neithammer as he documents the brutal survival and human cost of one of the Vietnam War’s most iconic battles. Lomax’s stark black-and-white art and unvarnished storytelling, drawn from his own experiences, give this four-issue run a raw, documentary-like power that distinguishes it from more sensationalized war tales. It remains a vital, humane chronicle of conflict, respected for its unblinking authenticity and journalistic integrity.
