I know how fondly ROM is thought of by many 80s comics fans. Perhaps a few folks haven’t seen Jean Frisano’s covers for the ROM reprints in France’s Strange magazine. Clearly familiar, and sometimes, er, very familiar, & yet different enough in their own fun way.

Also, Red to Kill, and Run and Kill. Ebola Syndrome (though that one is not as actually good)

Vietnam War Movies Ranked by personal preference. And more in order of how good a Vietnam War movie they are than total quality - Deer Hunter is a better movie than Hamburger Hill but Hamburger Hill is a better “Vietnam...

I’ve been teasing a lot but holy shit do I love this panel from Joe Sinnott - this sweaty eyeball closeup is so unhinged and wild.

I LOVE Platoon, I’ve watched it so many times. Insanely good ensemble cast, terrific script and performances, I can rewatch it infinitely the same way I can rewatch Boogie Nights.
