Our Army at War #218

This April 1970 issue of Our Army at War puts Sgt. Rock and Easy Company in a gut-wrenching bind, captured perfectly in Joe Kubert's cover: a Red Cross medic stands over wounded GIs amid an enemy advance, torn between his oath and the desperate demand to man a machine gun. The cover's speech balloons say it all — Rock's urgent warning that "Easy's Dead!" if someone doesn't fight, met with the medic's anguished "I Can't Kill!!" — framing a moral dilemma as visceral as the battlefield chaos surrounding them. Robert Kanigher and Russ Heath bring their storytelling craft to "Medic!", making this a compelling installment in one of DC's most enduring war series.
