Our Army at War #214

Among DC's most enduring war titles, Our Army at War #214 (January 1970) features Sgt. Rock front and center on Joe Kubert's cover, rifle in hand, perched atop rubble in a bombed-out urban battleground as fellow Easy Co. soldiers move through the wreckage behind him. A defiant speech bubble — "I don't need your help!" — crackles with tension, answered by a voice claiming street-tough self-reliance from the slums of the big city, setting up the interior story "Easy Co... Where Are You?" Inside, Robert Kanigher writes and Russ Heath handles both pencils and inks, a pairing that brought gritty authenticity to DC's wartime storytelling throughout this era.
