Sgt. Rock #421

The cover by Joe Kubert says it all — a soldier tumbles helplessly in freefall while a speeding purple muscle car bears down on him from above, a second armed figure clinging to its hood in a desperate scene of chaos and danger. Titled "Live Once — Die Twice," this April 1988 issue of Sgt. Rock promises the kind of hard-edged action that made DC's long-running war series a staple of comics readers. With Robert Kanigher writing and Sam Glanzman on interior art, it's a solid creative team delivering gritty combat storytelling at its best.
