Sgt. Rock #386

Towering above a battlefield crowded with wary soldiers, a pair of enormous clawed feet dominate Joe Kubert's striking cover for this March 1984 issue — whatever creature those limbs belong to casts a long, menacing shadow across the sandy ground below. In the foreground, a determined man carrying a rifle and a wide-eyed blonde woman press forward together, caught between the looming threat above and the troops behind them. Writer Robert Kanigher and artist Frank Redondo bring "The Jackie Johnson Story" to life inside, promising the kind of gritty, human-centered war storytelling that made Sgt. Rock one of DC's most enduring titles of the era.
