Our Army at War #301

This February 1977 issue of Our Army at War puts Sgt. Rock front and center in a tense, morally charged standoff. Joe Kubert's cover art places Rock's broad-shouldered silhouette between a desperate enemy soldier raising his hands amid flames and a burning tank, while speech balloons cry "Rock — shoot him! He's going to kill you!" — met with Rock's own agonized "I…I can't!" Easy Co. heads to "The Farm," where writer Bob Kanigher and artist Frank Redondo promise a different kind of battlefield challenge. It's a gripping snapshot of the human cost of war, rendered with the gritty power DC's war titles did so well in the 1970s.
