Vietnam Journal #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "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.
In "The Dogs of War!", Journal rides along on a mission to evacuate a reconnaissance team when his helicopter is shot down, leaving him stranded in the jungle. Forced to navigate through the dense terrain, he stumbles upon a firebase overrun by the Viet Cong just hours before — a place now eerily silent, its fate still fresh in the air. With no clear path out and the enemy’s presence a constant threat, Journal must rely on instinct, the remnants of the base, and the uneasy company of surviving soldiers like Lieutenant Caldwell, Captain Solinski, and Sergeant Teed to survive the night.
