Our Army at War #137

DC's long-running WWII anthology puts Sgt. Rock front and center in this December 1963 issue, with Joe Kubert's cover depicting Rock from behind, lying prone on the ground with his rifle raised as an enemy aircraft spins down in a fiery explosion above him — the diagonal energy and close perspective making it feel genuinely urgent. The cover copy teases that Rock, a man who's faced everything from bayonets to blockbusters, now finds himself helpless against a danger wearing his own uniform in "Too Many Sergeants." Kubert's dynamic linework captures the chaos of the battlefield with the kind of gritty confidence that made Our Army at War one of DC's most compelling war titles of the era.
