Our Army at War #143

Joe Kubert's cover for this June 1964 issue pulls you straight into the chaos of battle — soldiers scramble and dive across a shell-torn field while an enemy tank bears down, guns blazing, as Sgt. Rock bellows at his men to hit the dirt. The cover teases the featured story, "Easy's T.N.T. Crop!", promising that Rock and the men of Easy Co. will be risking everything for what the blurb calls "a handful of dirt." Robert Kanigher and Kubert were one of the great writer-artist partnerships in war comics, and this issue showcases exactly the kind of visceral, ground-level intensity that made Our Army at War one of DC's most compelling titles of the era.
