Sgt. Rock #304

The cover of this May 1977 DC issue pulls you straight into a tense standoff, with a helmeted soldier leveling a submachine gun in the foreground while a shirtless, bandolier-draped GI stands his ground, speech bubbles crackling with the threat of brother turning against brother. Joe Kubert's pencils and inks give the scene a raw, battlefield-worn urgency that captures the brutal stakes of the Anzio campaign perfectly. Billed as the conclusion of "Anzio — the Bloodbath," this issue promises a dramatic payoff to one of WWII comics' most harrowing story arcs, with Sam Glanzman handling the interior art throughout.
