This volume collects the never released-in-print material of "Brain Dead Horror" which ran on Vietnam Journal Continuum over the last few years.

Recommended by the Military Book Club.

The final chapter of the original Vietnam Journal series is concluded in this collection of the Apple Comic series. The battle of Khe Sanh was a bloody siege as American troops were isolated and under constant bombardment for over two months before the siege was finally broken. Also included in this collection is the entire four issue series of High Shining Brass, the follow up to the original Vietnam Journal series. Creator Don Lomax has entrenched his Vietnam Journal as one of the most realistic graphic representations of the Vietnam War. Recommended by The Military Book Club and tabbed a "graphic novel you should own" by Entertainment Weekly, the Vietnam Journal series has proven to be both a fan and critical hit. "A powerful collection of stories and history of the Vietnam War." is what School Library Journal has to say about the series. Vietnam Journal will continue until all of the material is collected and Lomax has indicated that perhaps all new stories may be forthcoming.

For the first time, the final issues of the original run of Vietnam Journal, are collected. This volume contains the last four issues (#13-#16) of the Apple Comic regular series and sets the stage for the isolated stories that continue Scott "Journal" Neithammer's passage into the jungles of Vietnam as well as into the psyche of the American G.I.s. Heartily acclaimed, Vietnam Journal has proven as important and relevant now as when it was first released, perhaps more so, because although Vietnam had it's own flavors and pecularities, war on the front lines is all too similar for those for spearhead the front.
