Description: Vietnam Journal - Book Three by Don Lomax Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The acclaimed Vietnam Journal comic book series from Don Lomax, nominated for a Harvey Award, is collected and presented as a series of graphic novels. Vietnam Journal is a look at the Vietnam War through the eyes of a war journalist, Scott Journal Neithammer, as he chronicles the lives and events of soldiers on the front line during the Vietnam War. Creator Don Lomax based Vietnam Journal on his experiences on his tour of duty in Vietnam in the mid 1960s. In BOOK THREE, Scott Journal Neithammer returns to Vietnam, having recovered from his war injuries, but his expectations of being assigned to a safe area dissipate as he is dropped into the middle of a firefight in the Mekong Delta. Neithammer joins up with a new group deployed in the Vietnam War by the US Navy...the Seals. Theyre not exactly happy with the older Journal tagging along but orders are orders. The problem is Journal cant really figure out what the Seals orders exactly are. As preparations get underway for the Dak To engagement, Journal ventures out into the jungle but ends up escorting a pregnant villager to safety only to discover shes really with the enemy. And afterwards, as a battle rages towards occupying a hill that has no significant value, Journal finds he has to deal with both choking gas and Vietcong snipers. These stories plus a short story titled "Dustoff" are included in Book Three. Collects issues #9-12. Entertainment Weekly labels Vietnam Journal as "a graphic novel you should own" and is recommended by the Military History Book Club, while Max Brooks (World War Z) names Vietnam Journal as one of his best war comic series.

It is Lomaxs concern for average soldiers that, in the end, makes his work significant." - Publishers Weekly. "This is, without a doubt, the most graphic, realistic and emotionally powerful portrayal of the Vietnam War thats ever been seen in comic form." - Jason E. Aaron, Wizards 2008 Best Writer.
