Sgt. Rock #412

The tagline says it all — "In the midst of war, a moment of humanity…" — and Joe Kubert's cover delivers exactly that, centering on Sgt. Rock tenderly embracing a young woman, his sergeant's helmet and rifle resting on the ground at their feet. Surrounding that quiet scene, rendered in muted tones, are the harder realities of the battlefield: tanks rolling, enemy soldiers massing, and the constant shadow of combat pressing in from every side. Robert Kanigher and Andy Kubert bring the story "3 Minutes for Easy" to life inside, promising the kind of emotionally grounded war storytelling that made this series a staple of DC's 1986 lineup.
