In Country: Marvel Comics’ “The ‘Nam” — Episode 38
In “Phoenix,” the 23rd encounters some unsavory goings-on in a village and we get a little clue into Ice’s past. It’s The ‘Nam #38, brought to you by Doug Murray, […]
“Sounds of Silence” is the title of issue #35 of The ‘Nam and here we see the start of an important subplot involving racial tension between some of the boys of the 23rd. We also catch up with Ed Marks as he has a short conversation about My Lai right before heading home for Christmas break. It’s December 1968 and it’s all brought to you by Doug Murray, Wayne Vansant, and Geof Isherwood. As always, in addition to the summary and review of the issue I’ll be taking a look at the letters, ‘Nam Notes, and ads.

A dear friend once said to me: “It’s a lot of fun when everyone’s a dork of some sort or another.” As I look back on my life as a dork, I realize that not only have I geeked out, but not in the right way. My taste, you see, isn’t great. But instead of hiding from that, I’ve decided to embrace it. Part commentary, part memoir, this is an exploration of my weird love for the obscure and for those things that sorta suck.
