Our Army at War #169

Joe Kubert's cover for this 1966 DC issue tells the whole brutal story at a glance: a battered, bandaged Sgt. Rock carries a wounded German soldier on his back through the North African desert, a signpost pointing toward Tobruk 12 km away while a tank smolders in the distance. The speech bubbles crackle with tension — Rock straining to reach Easy Co., his unlikely burden guiding the way — capturing that gritty moral complexity that made Robert Kanigher and Kubert's collaboration on Our Army at War so compelling. "Nazi on My Back!" promises the kind of raw, human-scale wartime drama that defined the series at its best.
