1st printing.

Story and art by Eve Gilbert.

Scott Camil grew up in the 1960s wanting to fight for his country. After graduation, Camil joins the Marines and is sent to Vietnam. There he encounters the incompetence of his superiors, the constant death of his friends, the rape and slaughter of Vietnamese women and children, eventually turning him into a ruthless killer. Upon his return to civilian life, Camil adopts a new cause: telling the American people the truth about Vietnam.

Eve Gilbert illustrates Camil's words with empathy, nuance, and the occasional splash of humor. It's a cautionary tale whose arc of suffering and transformation is just as relevant today.

1st printing. Story and art by JOE KUBERT. Joe Kubert, one of the most influential storytellers in comics history, tells the harrowing, true story of a detachment of Special Forces soldiers on a simple recon mission into the village of Dong Xoai, Vietnam, that turned suddenly deadly. DONG XOAI, VIETNAM 1965 has a unique perspective, since Kubert based the story on extensive information gathered from the surviving members of the unit. It covers not only the action of the event but the details of deployment and build-up that led to the deadly encounter for these young American G.I.s. For decades, Joe Kubert has shown readers the true face of war - all the suffering, horror, loss and heroism of our fighting forces. With DONG XAOI, he goes a step beyond to tell a gut-wrenching tale of sacrifice that will linger long after you are done reading. Hardcover, 200 pages, full color. Cover price $24.99.

1st printing. Written by George Ryan. Art and cover by Eve Gilbert. Plucked from his workaday youth as an Irish-American kid from Brooklyn, Ryans military deployment to Vietnam begins in 1966 with shiftless excursions into women, booze, and reefer. As he wades ever deeper north, his cavorting is replaced by an unceasing violence. The amorality of war, and specifically this war, is laid bare. Eve Gilberts nakedly primitive drawing perfectly reflects Ryans own naivete, filled to the brim with acerbic commentary and pitch-black humor. Images overflow with blood and dissidence, dripping with rage for the injustice done to the young men made grist for the war machine. Ultimately, My Year in Vietnam is a story of triumph and humanity, of men rising against their countrys worst impulses. Ryans greatest act of resistance becomes his life, proving that the men who fought these wars can be more than weapons and fodder, but activists and paragons and fathers and grandfathers; thinking, feeling, beating hearts. Softcover, 8-in. x 10-in., 136 pages, PC/PB&W. Mature Readers Cover price $30.00.

Story and art by Clement Baloup.

Colonialism and war disrupted the lives of millions of Vietnamese people during the 20th century. These are their stories.

Leaving Saigon recounts the experiences of Vietnamese citizens who, through different circumstances and different periods, ended up in various parts of France. These stories are testimonials of courage and endurance in the face of turmoil and displacement.

1st printing. Story and art by Thien Pham. Originally posted on Instagram, this young adult graphic novel details the author's childhood immigration to America with his family, through the lens of particularly meaningful food and meals.

After the Pham family arrives at a refugee camp in Thailand, they struggle to survive. Things don't get much easier once they resettle in California. And through each chapter of their lives, food takes on a new meaning. Behind every cut of steak and inside every croissant lies a story. And for Thien Pham, that story is about a search - for belonging, for happiness, for the American dream! Softcover, 6-in. x 8-in., 240 pages, full color. Cover price $17.99.

The Battle of Hamburger Hill took place May 13-20, 1969 and was fought by U.S. Army and Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) forces against the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) of North Vietnam during Operation Apache Snow. The hill had little strategic value but U.S. command ordered its capture by a frontal assault. Upon capture by U.S. forces the hill was soon abandoned, falling back into North Vietnam hands. The action caused a controversy both within the American military and back home with the public.

Don Lomax, who served during the Vietnam War and put to paper his experiences, tells the story of Hamburger Hill through the eyes of embedded war reporter Scott "Journal" Neithammer.
