Our Army at War #263

DC's long-running WWII anthology delivers another tense chapter of Sgt. Rock in this December 1973 issue, with a cover by Joe Kubert that puts Easy Company squarely in the crosshairs — soldiers scramble in the foreground, weighed down with ammunition belts and rifles, while an enemy tank bearing the Iron Cross looms behind them, its spotlight blazing. The cover caption says it all: "The second enemy tank's got us locked in its spotlight!" — a desperate, immediate moment that captures exactly the kind of gritty ground-level combat drama that made this title a staple of DC's war line. With Bob Kanigher writing and Russ Heath on interior art, "The Cage!!" promises the same unflinching storytelling that defined the best of early-'70s war comics.
