It\u2019s an honor to be working with the NCHV and VA.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The six-issue comic book series is a story of brotherhood, families, loss and hope for veterans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CxzRRU3udMc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen title=\"JUNKYARD JOE by Geoff Johns &amp; Gary Frank\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first issue, set in Vietnam in 1972, centers on a platoon of homesick soldiers called the junkyard dogs. Embarking on one last mission, the unit gets ambushed \u2014 until a strange soldier steps in to help. The men soon learn it\u2019s a robot, which the platoon ultimately bonds with. Another ambush, however, leaves only two survivors \u2014 the robot and Pvt. Muddy Davis, who also happens to be a budding cartoonist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The comic then flashes forward to the present, with Muddy now in his 70s, living as a successful cartoonist and writing stories about \u201cJunkyard Joe,\u201d the perfect robot soldier. In real life, Muddy believes the robot he encountered was just a figment of his war-addled imagination, that is until it shows up at his doorstep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe general story is about two veterans that went through something in war that come back together today and are both looking for what the next step is,\u201d Johns said. \u201cThey find it together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Johns and Frank felt strongly that the subject matter of this comic hits home for a number of people. For those who don\u2019t have a military connection, productions like this can still help convey what troops experienced in war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe fact is that the political decisions, which are made to go to war, can vary,\u201d Frank noted. \u201cBut for the people that are actually over there fighting the war, that experience is the same. What we\u2019re talking about is the experience of the people that are out there, doing the things that need to be done, and then coming home and needing a pang of of support and understanding.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s that which the duo focused on when the robot shows up on Muddy\u2019s door \u2014 the lack of support and need for a sense of belonging after war is over and soldiers return home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Junkyard Joe #1, the standard issue, and Junkyard Joe #1: Special Black &amp; White Edition is produced by Image Comics. The series is set in Mad Ghost Productions\u2019 historical Unnamed Universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proceeds from the Black and White Edition will go to the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans and Veterans Aid in memory of Johns\u2019 and Frank\u2019s grandparents, both veterans. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madghost.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mad Ghost Productions<\/a> will donate $2 for every issue purchased.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Geoff Johns, Gary Frank and Brad Anderson released &#8220;Junkyard Joe,&#8221; a comic series on Vietnam
