Awesome Cover Friday: The 'Nam

Last Sunday was Veterans' Day here in the U.S.
Noetic Concordance salutes all our veterans along with everyone currently serving in the military. Thank you all.

The 'Nam was a Marvel series about The Vietnam War that ran for 84 issues in the late '80s and early '90s. It was a well-written book that took an unflinching look at the war and its effects on the people and countries involved. Well, as unflinching as the comics code would allow but they managed to tell some compelling stories.

I don't have a complete run of the book because it got a little stupid near the end but the original team of Doug Murray, Michael Golden, and Larry Hama is one of those teams that makes comic-book history. Also, say what you will about Jim Shooter but he greenlit the project in the first place. Here are some of my favorite 'Nam covers.
