Our Army at War #292

Joe Kubert's cover for issue #292 pulls you straight into the chaos of the battlefield: Sgt. Rock rides a horse-drawn cart at full gallop, shielding two civilian children and a wounded woman while a German tank bears down, its cannon blazing directly at them. The raw tension between that oncoming armor and the desperate rescue scene makes this one of the more striking covers in the long run of Our Army at War. Inside, Bob Kanigher and Frank Redondo bring the story "A Lesson in Blood" to life — a title that promises exactly the kind of unflinching WWII drama this series delivered so consistently in 1976.
