The acclaimed Vietnam Journal series from Don Lomax, nominated for a Harvey Award, is collected and presented as a series of graphic novels. Vietnam Journal is a look at the Vietnam War through the eyes of a war journalist, Scott 'Journal' Neithammer, as he chronicles the lives and events of soldiers on the front line during the Vietnam War. Collects comic book issues 5-8. In BOOK TWO, 'Journal' must test his resolve in order to help others survive as he cannot sit ideally while events unfold around him. He finds himself in the infamous Iron Triangle with his troop company as they come across a village hamlet that was supposed to be evacuated but it wasn't. 'Journal' and a fellow medical patient rush to save some kids in the village that is about to be overrun by Vietcong. What they hadn't counted on was some G.I.s out for revenge against the Vietnamese...any Vietnamese. And having barely survived that encounter, an injured 'Journal' is sent back to the United States to recover and he discovers another type of war going on there as he sees firsthand the protests at home. Plus in a bonus short story, 'Journal' remembers his younger days covering the war in Korea a decade earlier. 

Scott "Journal" Niethammer returns to report on the seemingly endless conflict and this time he heads into Cambodia as the incursion of that country is well underway by United States and South Vietnamese military forces. He is accompanied by a slightly erratic photographer with the unhealthy attitude that he is impervious to enemy fire when behind the camera's lens. While in Cambodia they meet a pistol packing, single-minded Nun and dozens of ethnic Vietnamese orphans who have been delivered a death sentence by Cambodia's new acting Prime Minister, Lon Nol. With Journal's help they make a desperate race for the border and salvation. Now wanted by the Judge Advocate General's office for questioning, Journal retreats back into Cambodia hoping the farce will all blow over. But he meets a female reporter as much an outcast from the mainstream media as he. Their similarities create a bond until the war finds a way to force the heavy hand of horror into their fledgling relationship. And lastly, racism and drugs rear their ugly heads as rear echelon United States troops are moved forward in a support capacity for the line troops. Their real world prejudices and minimal training threaten to rot the core of the effort from the inside out. And the ever present enemy awaits any opportunity to hand the Americans a sound defeat should there be a misstep in their favor. Collects Vietnam Journal Series Two comic book issues 6-10.
