In "Target — Sgt. Rock!", written by Robert Kanigher and illustrated by Joe Kubert, a head injury during a skirmish with Major Von Strupp’s troops leaves Sgt. Rock vulnerable to German brainwashing, causing him to believe he’s one of Easy Company. The deception throws the unit into confusion, but a decisive moment of clarity allows Rock to regain his senses and turn the tide. The cover by Joe Kubert captures the tension of the moment with stark, powerful imagery.
