Vietnam Journal #14

Vietnam Journal #14 is part of an acclaimed historical fiction comic book series created by writer and artist Don Lomax. Launched in the late 1980s, the series was born out of Lomax's own experiences as a combat journalist during the Vietnam War. He utilized a stark, realistic art style to document the visceral daily realities of the conflict, focusing on the perspective of a fictional reporter named Scott 'Journal' Nielfield who traverses the chaotic landscape of the Mekong Delta.

The series is widely regarded for its commitment to authenticity, avoiding the stylized tropes of war comics in favor of a somber, ground-level narrative. Lomax designed the work to serve as a visual record of the era's complexities, and it received significant praise from both veterans and critics for its unflinching portrayal of infantry life and the psychological toll of the war. Issue #14 continues this narrative tradition, maintaining the series' reputation as a significant piece of sequential art focused on historical reportage.
