Collected and published for the first time in over 30 years! From Harvey-nominated writer/artist Don Lomax, creator of the award-winning Vietnam Journal series comes Fire Team.
Cam Ky MacMurphy is half-Vietnamese, half- American, and feels as if he doesn't belong to either race. His uncle, Nguyen Van Tan, raised him from birth and the two live in an area of town that is controlled by a skinhead gang calling themselves Future Shock. The neighborhood lives in fear as the gang forces them to pay protection money. When Nguyen refuses to pay, he and Cam are beaten and their family store is burned to the ground. The police, for their part, don't even bother to file a report.
Then hope appears in the form of a ghost from the past. When Nguyen was young, right after Cam was born, he worked with a U.S. Fire Team deployed in the twilight days of the Vietnam War. The team was comprised of six brave men who ended up sacrificing their lives while trying to evacuate women and children from an about to be overrun command base. Now the Fire Team has come back from the dead to not only save Nguyen and Cam but bring news to Cam that his American father is alive and fighting a guerrilla war in the Vietnamese jungles!
