Nguyen Charlie

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nguyen Charlie is a comic strip that appeared during the Vietnam War in the Pacific edition of the U.S. military newspaper Stars and Stripes, from 1966 to 1974. It was drawn by Corky Trinidad, an editorial cartoonist for the Honolulu Star-Bulletin since 1969.

Writing on an Internet forum, one fan of the strip describes the title character as "a dedicated Viet Cong sharing the Vietnam battlefields with his American counterparts, with everyone sharing one common interest: to survive." [1]

During the war, three softcover books of Trinidad's strips were published, titled:
       Nguyen Charlie (1969)
       Sorry 'Bout That, Sarge (1970), and
       Not In This War, Charlie! (1970).
A fourth softcover book of reprints titled Nguyen Charlie Encores followed in 1985 (Arthouse Books, ISBN 0-935021-01-9).
