The Item for sale is for one (1) copy of the comic book The NAM No. 19 "Milk Run"
After a successful Vietnam War series in the pages of Savage Tales magazine, called ‘5th to the 1st”, Jim Shooter gave Doug Murray’s pitch for a new, ongoing Vietnam War series the green light.
Murray, a Vietnam War veteran himself, takes you deep into the jungles of Vietnam within the pages of The ‘Nam. He effectively uses the point of view of a green army recruit, Ed Marks, to establish the environment and atmosphere, and help create a connection with Marks and the people in his platoon.
The 'Nam was an historical fiction series published in comic book form, detailing the U.S. War in Vietnam from the perspective of active-duty soldiers involved in the conflict. It was written by Doug Murray, initially illustrated by Michael Golden, edited by Larry Hama and published by Marvel Comics for seven years beginning in 1986, which was originally intended to roughly parallel the analogous events of the period of major American military involvement in Vietnam from 1966 to 1972. When initially announced, it was described as a "twelve year limited series".
During its run, The 'Nam was nominated for the Best New Series category of the 1987 Jack Kirby Awards.
The comic is structured as the narrative of a fictional soldier, Private First Class Edward Marks (but sometimes following other characters), as he experiences real events that occurred during the conflict. Each issue of the comic occurs one month after the previous issue, detailing events that occurred approximately 20 years prior to the publication date.
The events depicted are sometimes famous ones, such as the Tet Offensive of 1968, and sometimes more personal ones, depicting the interaction between soldiers or between soldiers and the local populace of Vietnam, or between soldiers and their families, friends and others in the United States.

| Time-Less-Image is proud to offer items from our collection of comic books, graphic novels and original comic art. Both my brother Tom and I have been lifelong readers, collectors and fans of comics since early childhood. I actually remember paying $ 0.05 for my new issue comics! Classic Illustrated books introduced me to some of the American and European classics. Tom owned "Comics, Legends & Lore" a comic book store in Lynn, Massachussetts during the 80's. He was active at all the trade shows and conventions. Together we hope to bring our knowledge and enthusiasm to the virtual comic world on Ebay.
Our objective at Time Less Image is to offer the public unique, affordable, original fine art note cards & prints. Additionally, we will be offering original comic book art, comic books and graphic novels from our collection.
Sincerely,
Jack Egan
