☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "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.
In a tense wartime twist, Sgt. Rock is wounded and manipulated by Major Von Strupp’s forces, leading to a dangerous deception where Rock believes he’s one of his own. As confusion spreads within Easy Company, the line between friend and foe blurs—until Rock’s clarity returns, setting the stage for a pivotal confrontation.
In "Broomstick Pilot!" from DC Special Series #18 (1979), a daring pilot maneuvers his Flying Fortress at dangerously low altitudes, evading enemy fighters and slipping in from the sea to strike a submarine pen—where precision and nerve are the only things standing between him and mission success.
In "Who Is Haunting the Haunted Chateau?" from DC Special Series #18 (1979), two airmen are thrown into chaos when a damaged plane forces a desperate choice—captain or sergeant, one must go. Years later, the surviving sergeant returns to the cursed chateau, haunted not by the past, but by a ghost he can’t explain.
In "3 Graves to Home!", a downed German pilot named Von Hammer finds himself stranded in the French countryside after a crash, where he is repeatedly rescued by the families of three French airmen he once shot down—each unaware of his identity. As he relies on their kindness, the weight of his past begins to shadow his desperate bid for survival.
In a delightfully absurd twist of childish strategy, The Little General and his crew stage a dramatic hunger ploy outside an ice cream parlor, all to convince Mr. Flegenheimer to spring for two scoops of ice cream in their sodas—no promises on whether the plan will work, but the sheer audacity is worth the price of admission.
In "Frogman Fury!", Jo, a skilled underwater operative, dives into the Pacific theater of World War II to sabotage enemy targets. With precision and grit, he disables a Japanese airplane, a combat craft, and a submarine—then salvages the wrecked sub's propeller to keep his own vessel afloat.
