Our Army at War #185

DC's long-running war anthology shines in this October 1967 issue, with a Joe Kubert cover that puts Sgt. Rock front and center — bare-chested, bandolier-draped, and firing a pistol while cradling a wounded comrade, all beneath a tattered American flag waving against a smoke-filled battlefield. Soldiers advance through exploding terrain in the background, setting an urgent, gritty tone that perfectly suits the featured story, "Battle Flag for a G.I.!" The cover teaser — "The flag was dead — could Sgt. Rock make it live again?" — hints at the kind of hard-edged wartime drama that Robert Kanigher and Russ Heath deliver inside.
