Our Army at War #195

Joe Kubert's cover pulls you right into the tension: Sgt. Rock leads his squad — Easy Company's ragtag group of soldiers advancing through a blown-out doorway — while two heavily armed German soldiers loom in the foreground, rifles trained and ready. The speech bubble's casual "No Sweat, Unit 3… It's a Dead Town!" makes Rock's cool confidence feel all the more striking against the obvious danger surrounding him. Robert Kanigher and Kubert were firing on all cylinders in 1968, and this issue of DC's long-running war series delivers exactly the gritty battlefield atmosphere fans had come to love.
