High Shining Brass

High Shining Brass was a four-issue limited series from Don Lomax, the creator of Fire Team. It told the actual story of a soldier named Bob Durand who fought in the Viet Nam Conflict. Durand was a member of a black-ops team, code-named “Shining Brass.” The series retold the horrific atrocities witnessed and performed by the once naïve special forces member.

Durand’s group was under the command of a combined force, comprised of every branch of the services, and headed up by the ever-popular Central Intelligence Committee—here showing what an oxymoron that name can be. It’s a journey into a shadow world of treachery and deceit—and immensely critical of the way lives of Americans were traded about carelessly during the war in Viet Nam.
