Motofumi Kobayashi: Apocalypse Meow Volume 1
by Motofumi Kobayashi
Follows a trio of Roadrunners and three Montegnards during tour of duty in ?Nam–code name Cat Shit One (play on Dog Shit One, reference to West Point lowerclassmen). Mission to destroy Ho Chi Minh Trail. Americans and Vietcong portrayed as rabbits and cats. Whimsical yes, but serious stories. Scenery and dialogue contribute to “realism.” Historical info. in sidebars and gloss for military slang. No interest in Vietnam War history, and admittedly purchased because of cute cats and rabbits. However, Kobayashi’s art and writing are engrossing, as well as educational. Always a good mix. Not for kids under 16.
