Last Day in Vietnam: A Memory by Will Eisner
Requirements: CBR Reader, 68 Mb
Overview: Dark Horse is proud to present the newest graphic novel by Will Eisner, one of comics’ pioneers and inarguably the medium’s first "maverick" creator! Last Day in Vietnam is Eisner’s memoir of stories about soldiers who are engaged not only in the daily hostilities of war but also in larger, more personal combat. During Eisner’s years in the military, and particularly during the many field trips he made for P.S. Magazine, he observed camp life at close range. Some of the stories in this novel are comical, some heartrending, some frightening, yet all display the incredible insight into humanity characteristic of Eisner’s entire oeuvre. The first edition of this graphic novel will feature a full-color cover painted by the artist, with a matte and spot-gloss finish, interior cover flaps, and special sepia-colored ink printed on high-quality antique paper.
Genre: Comics, Graphic Novels, Vietnam War, Slice of Life.

Drawing on memories from his World War II service days and his army-sponsored trips to Korea and Vietnam, comics innovator Will Eisner put together Last Day in Vietnam, a six-story collection that reveals the strange feelings that arise in soldiers during wartime. From the long, rollicking title story to the somber, bureaucratic cautionary tale "A Purple Heart for George," Eisner consistently finds new angles on old material, while maintaining the mainstream position that war, though ridiculous, must be fought when necessary. The sepia tones of the stories and interspersed photos of Korea and Vietnam add gravity to the already weighty tales, but the book never becomes heavy-handed. Last Day in Vietnam is impressive work from an artist with an impressive record.
