Sgt. Rock #405

Angels with Black Wings!" promises a special full-length story in this 1985 issue of DC's beloved war series, and Joe Kubert's cover sets the stage with quiet intensity. Flanking a central inset panel are two battle-worn soldiers — one armed and draped in ammunition, the other bundled in a heavy flight jacket — while the inset itself features a determined aviator peering through a cracked cockpit canopy, warplanes streaking through the sky behind him, his aircraft marked "Capt. A.J. Dennis." It's a striking composition that honors both the ground-pounding grit and airborne drama that have always made Sgt. Rock essential reading, arriving as DC celebrated its 50th anniversary.
