Our Army at War #179

The cover of Our Army at War #179 pulls you in immediately — Jackie Johnson drags a wounded, red-haired soldier to safety while an enemy tank bears down on them and a German soldier opens fire in the background, all rendered with Joe Kubert's gritty, kinetic linework. The cover text makes the moral stakes plain: Jackie is risking his life for a man who's treated him like dirt, giving this 1967 DC war comic a powerful human edge before you've read a single page. Fans of Sgt. Rock's Easy Company will find plenty to admire here, with the featured story "A Penny for Jackie Johnson!" promising the kind of battlefield drama and character depth that made this series a standout of its era.
