The acclaimed comic book war series from Don Lomax, nominated for a Harvey Award, is now presented as a series of graphic novel volume collections. Vietnam Journal is a look at the Vietnam War through the eyes of a war journalist Scott Neithammer, a freelance reporter the troops have nicknamed "Journal". As an embedded reporter, Neithammer has a single minded focus and obsession to report the controversial war from the "grunt’s" point of view and to hell with the consequences. It chronicles the lives and events of soldiers on the front line during the Vietnam War. Book One collects comic issues 1-4. Picked by Entertainment Weekly as "a graphic novel you should own" and recommended by the Military History Book Club, Vietnam Journal is written and drawn by Don Lomax, a Vietnam War veteran. Max Brooks (World War Z) names Vietnam Journal as one of his best war comic series. "Lomax bases his fictional work on his real experiences in Vietnam in 1966, with powerful results. It is Lomax's concern for average soldiers that, in the end, makes his work significant." - Publishers Weekly. "This is, without a doubt, the most graphic, realistic and emotionally powerful portrayal of the Vietnam War that's ever been seen in comic form." - Jason E. Aaron, Wizard’s 2008 Best Writer. Released by Caliber Comics.

Don Lomax's critically acclaimed Vietnam Journal series returns with all new stories. THIS ISSUE: "The Sniper" - In 1969 the Vietnam War was finally winding down. Journalist Scott Neithammer had already been incountry over two years and had been in the bush with the combat troops since he arrived to cover the war as a freelance reporter. Being there, in the horror, with the 11 Bravos gave him credibility in their eyes. So when he was invited to go along with the troops on a LRRP (Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol) to neutralize a North Vietnamese Major who was extorting outlandish taxes from the local peasant population, it seemed like a good idea at the time... Praise for Vietnam Journal: “Vietnam Journal by Don Lomax is the best comic book portrayal of Vietnam I have ever read. It’s probably one of the best works ever put down in any art form about the war.” - Daniel Robert Epstein

Costello, Martin Flanagan, Michael Fuchs, Michael Goodrum, Bridget Keown, Kaleb Knoblach, Christina M. Knopf, Martin Lund, Jordan Newton, Stefan Rabitsch, Maryanne Rhett, and Philip Smith History has always been a matter of arranging evidence into a narrative, but the public debate over the meanings we attach to a given history can seem particularly acute in our current age. Like all artistic mediums, comics possess the power to mold history into shapes that serve its prospective audience and creator both. It makes sense, then, that history, no stranger to the creation of hagiographies, particularly in the service of nationalism and other political ideologies, is so easily summoned to the panelled page. Comics, like statues, museums, and other vehicles for historical narrative, make both monsters and heroes of men while fueling combative beliefs in personal versions of United States history. Drawing the Past, Volume 1: Comics and the Historical Imagination in the United States, the first book in a two-volume series, provides a map of current approaches to comics and their engagement with historical representation. The first section of the book on history and form explores the existence, shape, and influence of comics as a medium. The second section concerns the question of trauma, understood both as individual traumas that can shape the relationship between the narrator and object, and historical traumas that invite a reassessment of existing social, economic, and cultural assumptions. The final section on mythic histories delves into ways in which comics add to the mythology of the US. Together, both volumes bring together a range of different approaches to diverse material and feature remarkable scholars from all over the world.

Don Lomax's critically acclaimed Vietnam Journal is back with all new tales of Scott ‘Journal’ Neithammer as he reports on the heartache and headache, and the young soldiers on both sides of the Vietnam War. This volume takes ‘Journal’ from late 1969, the Monsoon season, to May of 1970, and the beginning of the Cambodian incursion. As the war officially spreads into that neighboring country and tests the South Vietnamese Military on their capabilities of sustaining the war against the North Vietnamese Communists on their own. Along the way ‘Journal’ finds himself caught in the crosshairs of a juvenile sniper, and a private war for his own sanity as he is forced to fight a plague of rats at a forward firebase. And from a bitter sweet tryst in a back street bar in Saigon, to rolling into Cambodia with an untrustworthy cameraman new to his craft...the action never stops and questions about Neithammer’s career choice continually lay just below the surface. Collects issues 1-5. Praise for Vietnam Journal: “Lomax bases his fictional work on his real experiences in Vietnam in 1966, with powerful results. It is Lomax's concern for average soldiers that, in the end, makes his work significant.” - Publishers Weekly.

Adapted into the Warner Brothers action/adventure motion picture of the same name starring Academy Award nominee Robert Mitchum and BAFTA Award Winner Jack Hawkins. The novel contains numerous additional scenes, subplots, and characters not depicted in the feature film. For fans of such films as The Ghost and the Darkness, and Beast. RAMPAGE: Two renowned big-game hunters, a German Otto von Abart and American Harry Stanton, embark on a dangerous mission into the steaming jungles of Malaya. Their assignment: to capture prize specimens for the Munich Zoo in Germany. Neither man realizes that the trip is to prove the ordeal of their lives, an ordeal inflamed by the presence of von Abart's beautiful mistress Anna. As the trio battle their way through the treacherous jungle, what began as a professional rivalry soon turns into a personal rivalry as well, and the two men engage in a strange combat that can end only with the destruction of one of them. Always between the two men is Anna, watching, waiting as much the prize as is the black killer leopard both hunters covet and pursue.
