Our Army at War #266

Joe Kubert's cover for this March 1974 issue places Sgt. Rock front and center, blazing away with a machine gun mounted on the fuselage of a U.S. aircraft while enemy planes fill the smoke-hazed sky around him. Below him, a wounded or exhausted soldier clings to the plane's hull, ammunition belts draped across his chest, suggesting the desperate stakes behind the issue's title, "The Evacuees!" DC's long-running WWII anthology was firing on all cylinders in 1974, and this Kubert cover — shells flying, explosions blooming in the distance — captures exactly the kind of visceral, ground-level heroism that made Our Army at War one of the genre's most compelling reads.
