Vietnam Journal

Vietnam Journal was a war comic book series written and drawn by Don Lomax and published by Apple Comics from November 1987 to April 1991.

Plot
The story follows Scott Neithammer, nicknamed "Journal" by the American soldiers, a freelance reporter in the Vietnam War obsessed with reporting from the point of view of the G.I., whatever the consequences.

Background
Series creator Lomax was drafted in 1965 and served in Vietnam with the 98th Light Equipment Maintenance Company. During his tour of duty, he made notes and sketches which later were incorporated into Vietnam Journal.

Reprints
The comic was later revived as a monthly full-page strip from 2002 to 2006 by Gallery magazine.

Vietnam Journal collections were re-issued by iBooks in 2004, and were nominated for a 2004 Harvey Award for Best Domestic Reprint Project.

The entire Vietnam Journal series was re-published in graphic novel form through Transfuzion Publishing in 2011 (and later republished by Caliber Comics in 2017–2019).
