Our usual jungle chaos takes a backseat to something a bit more fragile, love in a warzone. He’s a confident chopper pilot. She’s a Red Cross Donut Dolly serving up coffee and a little comfort to guys stuck in-country. Together? Let’s just say not even a Huey rotor spins as fast as things get between them It’s a rare issue that puts the emotional weight front and center, where the real danger isn’t in the treeline but in opening your heart with a war raging all around 💥 Bonus find: Flip to the middle and you’ll catch a full-page Splatterhouse ad—TurboGrafx-16 bloodbath with a chainsaw hero and enough B-movie vibes to make you grin.

Today’s Coffee ☕ and a Comic 📓 The ’Nam #49: “What They’re Fighting For” Cover Date: October 1990 This one cuts deep. It’s a tragedy of love in the middle of war, a chopper pilot and a USO entertainer spark something real, only to have Vietnam pull them apart. When hope meets hopelessness, you see what soldiers are willing to fight for—and what they leave behind. It’s not emotional fluff, it’s war. And sometimes the hardest battle is holding onto what matters.
