Vietnam Journal

Don Lomax’s Vietnam Journal (Caliber Press, 2018–present) is a stark, visceral war comic told from the perspective of Scott “Journal” Neithammer, a combat correspondent covering the Vietnam War. Lomax, who both writes and illustrates the series, draws on his own experience as a veteran to deliver a gritty, unromantic look at the conflict through a journalist’s eyes. Running seven issues and counting, this series stands as a raw, personal chronicle of war’s toll, offering a ground-level view of history that few comics have dared to tackle so directly.
