Sgt. Rock #308

This September 1977 issue puts Sgt. Rock face-down in the dirt, bandoliers of ammunition draped across his back, while a triumphant Nazi soldier looms over him pistol in hand, demanding before a crowd of onlookers that Rock admit who is the better soldier. Joe Kubert's cover work captures the tension brilliantly — Rock's defiant grimace says everything about whether he'll comply. Sam Glanzman handles the interior duties solo on "One Short Step—," promising a story that matches the grit and drama on full display here.
