Book Description
The acclaimed comic book war series from Don Lomax, nominated for a Harvey Award, is now presented as a series of graphic novel volume collections. Vietnam Journal is a look at the Vietnam War through the eyes of a war journalist Scott Neithammer, a freelance reporter the troops have nicknamed 'Journal'. As an embedded reporter, Neithammer has a single minded focus and obsession to report the controversial war from the "grunt’s" point of view. It chronicles the lives and events of soldiers on the front line during the war. In VOLUME FOUR, Scott 'Journal' Niethammer, lost in the jungle and on his own, sees firsthand the terror the Vietnamese villages contend with on an almost daily basis. But he comes across an U.S. army dog named Luther who faithfully serves. And as Operation Pershing unleashes 'Journal' hears a tale from a young soldier about an action soldiers didn’t usually talk about, especially to a reporter. It is a grey line between morality and loyalty and 'Journal' is also forced to deal with that situation. He also begins to put to paper the struggles of American prisoners of war held by the Viet Cong, as an American soldier, after brutal imprisonment by the Viet Cong, recounts his tale and 'Journal' finally understands how resilient the American soldier can be even at such a young age. Collects comic book issues #13-16. Picked by Entertainment Weekly as "a graphic novel you should own" and recommended by the Military History Book Club, Vietnam Journal is written and drawn by Don Lomax, a Vietnam War veteran. "Lomax bases his fictional work on his real experiences in Vietnam in 1966, with powerful results. It is Lomax's concern for average soldiers that, in the end, makes his work significant." - Publishers Weekly. A Caliber Comics release.

What they hadn’t counted on was some G.I.s out for revenge against the Vietnamese...any Vietnamese. And having barely survived that encounter, an injured ‘Journal’ is sent back to the United States to recover and he discovers another type of war going on there as he sees firsthand the protests at home. Plus in a bonus short story, 'Journal' remembers his younger days covering the war in Korea a decade earlier.

And in a surprise move to the American troops, President Johnson announces a restriction in bombing of North Vietnam.

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 1960's. 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. They're not exactly happy with the older 'Journal' tagging along but orders are orders. The problem is 'Journal' can't 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 she's 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. Published by Caliber Comics. 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 Lomax's concern for average soldiers that, in the end, makes his work significant." - Publishers Weekly.

Book Description
Contributions by Lawrence Abrams, Dorian L. Alexander, Max Bledstein, Peter Cullen Bryan, Stephen Connor, Matthew J. Costello, Martin Flanagan, Michael Fuchs, Michael Goodrum, Bridget Keown, Kaleb Knoblach, Christina M. Knopf, Martin Lund, Jordan Newton, Stefan Rabitsch, Maryanne Rhett, and Philip Smith History has always been a matter of arranging evidence into a narrative, but the public debate over the meanings we attach to a given history can seem particularly acute in our current age. Like all artistic mediums, comics possess the power to mold history into shapes that serve its prospective audience and creator both. It makes sense, then, that history, no stranger to the creation of hagiographies, particularly in the service of nationalism and other political ideologies, is so easily summoned to the panelled page. Comics, like statues, museums, and other vehicles for historical narrative, make both monsters and heroes of men while fueling combative beliefs in personal versions of United States history. Drawing the Past, Volume 1: Comics and the Historical Imagination in the United States, the first book in a two-volume series, provides a map of current approaches to comics and their engagement with historical representation. The first section of the book on history and form explores the existence, shape, and influence of comics as a medium. The second section concerns the question of trauma, understood both as individual traumas that can shape the relationship between the narrator and object, and historical traumas that invite a reassessment of existing social, economic, and cultural assumptions. The final section on mythic histories delves into ways in which comics add to the mythology of the US. Together, both volumes bring together a range of different approaches to diverse material and feature remarkable scholars from all over the world.
