Our Army at War #288

A battered, bandaged Allied soldier stands his ground amid fallen comrades, calling out to Sgt. Rock while a group of armed men in the background promise covering fire — Joe Kubert's cover art crackles with front-line tension and gritty determination. Easy Co. faces the harrowing order to "Defend...or Destroy!" in this January 1976 issue of DC's long-running war series. With Sergio Aragonés handling the interior writing and art, it's an unexpectedly versatile creative package wrapped in one of Kubert's most viscerally charged covers.
