1st printing. "A Memory!" By Will Eisner. 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. Softcover, 8 1/2-in.x 11-in., 80 pages, full color. Cover price $10.95.
