From the cover: "Vietnam 1967--the way it really was--with never-before published material. . .When journalist Scott Neithammer arrived in Vietnam, he expected to write about body counts and the winning of hearts and minds. But he very quickly discovered the real story lay elsewhere-with the rank-and-file soldiers, fighting a war they did not understand and were not allowed to win. Don Lomax, himself a veteran of the Vietnam War, captures the raw emotions and gritty reality of what it was like for the grunts in the muck. The language and violence are realistic, but not glorified. A stunning fact-based look at the Vietnam War." "The best war comic in more than 35 years." Don Thompson, the Comic Buyer's Guide

"A powerful collection of stories and history of the Vietnam War, created by a veteran of both the war and of war comics" - Douglas P. Dave, School Library Journal "…hits home...Lomax should be commended hardheartedly." - David Peattie, Amazing Heroes

Vietnam Journal Book Eight: Brain Dead Horror

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.
