Description

For the first time, the saga of the Tet Offensive as portrayed in the Vietnam Journal series is compiled into trade paperback! Volume Five - Tet '68 stands alone yet continues the Vietnam Journal saga as creator Don Lomax used a six issue series to spotlight what many have called the turning point of the Vietnam War. Although it was a military victory for the United States, the ramifications of the Tet Offensive drove American public opinion against the war, led to the highest casualty rates of U.S. soldiers, and re-energized the draft. The Tet Offensive was the beginning of the end to the Vietnam War. Don Lomax's Vietnam Journal has been hailed by Military Book Club, Entertainment Weekly, School Library Journal, Publisher's Weekly, and many others for its realistic and thought provoking approach and Lomax's skill in telling true tales of the war that brought such divisiveness to the American public. "...against the stereotype of the Vietnam veteran...vivid...convincingly drawn." - Leonardo Rifis, peace activist, Comics Journal. "Powerful...you must buy this book." - Tony Isabella. "For those of us who were there, it looks like the real thing." - Jim Hastings, Chapel Hill, NC

Author Biography:

Don Lomax has established himself with Vietnam Journal, his project of two decades which continues today. The series is a rarity in comics in that it appeals not only to comic fans but also to those outside the traditional realm of comics. But Don is by no means a one trick pony. For nearly 40 years he has had comics and cartoons appearing in a score of national magazines on a regular basis including Easyrider, CARtoons, Heavy Metal, Overdrive, Police and Security News, American Towman, and many others. His work in the adult magazine realm is legendary with story illustrations, comics, and cartoons appearing in virtually every "slick", "girly magazine" imaginable. But he also worked for most of the major comic book imprints including Pacific, Marvel, First, Americomics, Fantagraphics, Eros and others. He said he enjoyed working on American Flagg written by Alan Moore and inking Tom Sutton's pencils on Sleepwalker from Marvel. A multi-talented creator, Don also did some work on Munden's Bar which was a regular feature in First Comics' Grimjack series. Based on his success on Vietnam Journal, he was brought in to write Marvel Comics' The 'Nam
