Our Army at War #157

Joe Kubert's cover for this August 1965 issue pulls no punches, depicting Sgt. Rock in fierce hand-to-hand combat with a Nazi soldier as an explosion erupts dramatically behind them — a raw, kinetic struggle rendered with Kubert's unmistakable grit. The tagline "It Ain't Easy — To Finish Easy!" sets a tense tone, while the boast that Rock is "the battling Sgt. who's always imitated — but never equaled!" speaks to the character's enduring appeal. Robert Kanigher and Kubert, the creative team behind the story "Nothin's Ever Lost in War!", also deliver a special bonus double battle page suitable for framing — a nice extra touch for fans of this flagship DC war title.
