A fantastic, historically significant set from Marvel’s critically acclaimed war comic The ’Nam, written by Doug Murray with art by Michael Golden and others. This series was groundbreaking for its realistic, month-by-month portrayal of life in the Vietnam War, and has become a cult favorite among collectors of military comics and 1980s Marvel. All issues are bagged, boarded, and in attractive condition. Included Comics 1. The ’Nam #1 (Dec 1986) The very first issue of the series — this is the key book every collector wants. Introduces Ed Marks, the main character. Realistic depiction of soldier life, weaponry, and combat. One of Marvel’s boldest non-superhero launches of the 1980s. Features the Marvel 25th Anniversary border — highly collectible. 2. The ’Nam #2 (Jan 1987) Continues Ed Marks’s tour in Vietnam. Known for its intense action sequences and strong pacing. Another 25th Anniversary border issue — iconic for Marvel collectors. Highly desirable early issue with the original creative team. 3. The ’Nam #3 (Feb 1987) Cover features a burning photo of soldiers — a classic Golden cover. Focuses heavily on psychological toll + camaraderie among GIs. Early issues are scarcer because the series grew its audience later. 4. The ’Nam #4 (Mar 1987) A standout issue featuring frontline journalists filming combat. Notable for its dramatic cover showing a combat cameraman. Completes your early-run set perfectly. Why This Bundle Is Special Includes Issue #1, the most valuable in the run. All covers display the Marvel 25th Anniversary framing, which is widely collected. Early issues #1–4 follow Ed Marks’s earliest days in Vietnam — the most celebrated run of the title.
