Our Army at War #109

Sgt. Rock and Easy Co. are front and center in this August 1961 DC war title, with Joe Kubert's cover capturing a gripping battlefield moment — a helmeted soldier hurling a grenade while a wounded comrade beneath him strains with the desperate words "Can't... get... this... egg... off--!", enemy fire erupting in geysers along the waterline behind them. The featured story, "Roll Call of Heroes!," promises an Easy Co. battle blockbuster written by Robert Kanigher and brought to vivid life by Kubert's sharp, kinetic linework. At just ten cents, this was exactly the kind of intense, boots-on-the-ground action that made Our Army at War one of DC's most compelling war comics of the era.
