In his autobiographical short Last Day in Vietnam, part of a collection of short war stories published under that same title, Eisney recounted a story of having visited with a soldier convinced he’ll die after the Viet Cong attack on what is supposed to be his last day in the war before being shipped home.
It’s a poignant, human story, the likes of which arguably don’t get told enough now that war comics aren’t a big revenue driver and need to be merged with some superhero or supernatural aspect in order to move units.
