Sgt. Rock #338

With Joe Kubert's cover art setting a tense winter-battlefield scene, this March 1980 issue of Sgt. Rock puts Easy Company's sergeant in a grim standoff — unarmed, facing a Nazi officer who has a pistol pressed to his head while demanding surrender from the surrounded Allied troops. Rock's smoldering sergeant's helmet and a live grenade lie in the snow at center, making the stakes unmistakably clear. Titled "No Escape from the Front," this issue delivers exactly the kind of defiant, against-the-odds drama that made Sgt. Rock one of DC's most enduring war titles.
