Doug Murray is back after a brief fill-in by Chuck Dixon for The ‘Nam #44, a story entitled “Football Hero” that is a meditation on the fear that can paralyze a man, especially in the ‘Nam.

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.
