Our Army at War #193

Few artists captured the raw urgency of combat like Joe Kubert, and his cover for this 1968 issue shows exactly why — Sgt. Rock charges forward through a desert battlefield, carrying a wounded soldier in his arms as explosions and a burning tank erupt behind them. The dialogue balloons crackle with tension: the injured man points to something unseen and calls it a miracle, while Rock wonders aloud what a dying kid can see that he cannot. "Blood in the Desert!" promises the kind of gritty, emotionally charged war storytelling that made Our Army at War essential reading in 1968.
