In 1987, at the height of the US involvement in several "covert" wars in Central America, the CCCO enlisted some of the nations best comix authors and artists to produce a volume that would tell the stories of Vietnam veterans who'd been traumatized their war experiences, enlisted personnel in the services who'd successfully sought CO status, and civilians victimized by US-funded Central American dictatorships. The result was this masterfully drawn and written volume, Real War Stories.
