Our Army at War #299

Joe Kubert's cover for issue #299 pulls you right into the heat of battle — a battle-scarred Sgt. Rock fires his weapon point-blank while shouting orders to three new Easy Co. recruits scrambling for cover, all with a swastika-marked enemy tank looming ominously in the smoke behind them. Flames erupt across the foreground as the trio dashes toward safety, making it clear these fresh soldiers are being baptized by fire in the harshest possible classroom. Bob Kanigher and Frank Redondo bring "Three Soldiers" to life inside, promising the kind of gritty, ground-level WWII action that defines this long-running DC series.
