Written and drawn by Don Lomax this book does have a 70's underground comic feel to it. The story seems to follow an embedded print reporter with a platoon in Vietnam, and is written like a journal or diary, following day to day or couple days happenings around the base. It's hard to tell what is true to life or embellishment but it does compel you to want to read more.
Also the last page has a story of a real missing American soldier in Vietnam. It tells of how his family is still writing letters to him via the government of Laos. It makes you think "what if" there are still POW's being held there. It also tells how you can get involved. I'm not sure how current the addresses and information is as the book was printed in 1988.
I think i'm going to try and track these issues down as I go to comic conventions.
