Our Army at War #241

This February 1972 issue of Our Army at War features a cover by Joe Kubert that drops you right into a tense, off-kilter moment: Sgt. Rock sits restrained in a chair, surrounded by Easy Company soldiers, while a Nazi officer looms large in the foreground, gun raised, boasting that this will be "a perfect shot for the Armed Forces newspapers." The dynamic composition — with the swastika-armband villain dominating the right side of the frame — captures the sly, dramatic storytelling Kubert brought to this series throughout the early '70s. At 48 pages for just 25 cents, with interior art and story by Sam Glanzman, this is a satisfying package of wartime comics done with real craft.
