In Country: Marvel Comics’ “The ‘Nam” — Episode 5

The boys go into the brush for Episode 5 of “In Country,” which takes a look at issue #5 of “The ‘Nam.” Written by Doug Murray, penciled by Michael Golden, and inked by John Beatty, it’s “Humpin’ the Boonies,” a story that features events from June of 1966. As always, in addition to the summary and review of the issue I’ll be talking about the story’s historical context as well as taking a look at the letters, ‘Nam Notes, and ads.
