Sgt. Rock #320

The cover by Joe Kubert crackles with battlefield urgency — Sgt. Rock looms grimly in the background holding a lit stick of TNT, while in the foreground a desperate soldier cradles a fallen comrade, the dialogue balloons spelling out the desperate stakes: "Get rid of that T.N.T.... Quick!" met with the chilling reply, "It is too late, Sergeant... we will all die!" This September 1978 DC offering packs 44 all-new pages into its fifty-cent cover price, with Robert Kanigher's writing and Frank Redondo's interior art delivering a story titled "Never Salute a Sergeant" that promises the kind of gritty WWII drama the series does so well. Kubert's cover work is as tense and immediate as ever, making this an easy pick for fans of combat comics done with real craft.
