Tet

Paul Allor and Paul Tucker's Tet is a difficult book to put in a category. It's a murder mystery that spans decades, a heartbreaking romance and a story about interruptions and trying to go back to the past, all set against the background of the Vietnam War and the people who lived through it. Halfway through its four-issue run, the questions are mounting up for Lt. Eugene Smith, his former fiancee and the detective who helped him investigate a murder on the eve of the 1968 Tet Offensive, and the revelations are just about to start. To find out more, I spoke to Allor about his approach to the story, the difficulty of blending so many genres, and how he and Tucker set out to tell "an anti-white-savior story."
