Our Army at War #260

This September 1973 DC issue puts Sgt. Rock and Easy Company in a tense standoff atop a rocky outcrop, where a dark-clad enemy soldier clutches a woman and child as hostages, threatening to jump while Rock's men below train their weapons and one asks the urgent question: "Rock… what do we do?" Joe Kubert's cover captures that split-second moral dilemma with striking clarity — firepower is useless when innocents are in the balance. Inside, writer Bob Kanigher and artist Russ Heath bring "Hell's Island!" to life, promising the kind of gritty, humanly complex combat storytelling that made Our Army at War one of DC's most compelling war titles of the era.
