The Sgt. Rock Archives #3
In "What's the Price of a Dogtag?", Sgt. Rock finds himself in the hospital after a harrowing battle in the hedgerows, where he fought a Tiger tank, shot down Stukas, and took down a German soldier in a minefield. As his comrades recount the chaos, Rock is scolded for reckless bravery—first by the Captain, then by a sharp-tongued nurse—though he’s clearly not ready to rest. When Nazi forces break through and threaten the crossroads, Rock rallies the "Pajama Commandoes" for a desperate counterattack. The nurse stands by him, arguing he needs healing, and for once, Rock admits that maybe, just maybe, something’s easy in Easy. Written by Bob Kanigher and illustrated by Joe Kubert, with cover art by Joe Kubert, this gripping tale from The Sgt. Rock Archives #3 captures the grit and humanity of war with unflinching detail.

Rock's landed in the hospital as the guys tell how he got here: fighting a Tiger tank in hedgerows, gunning Stukas, tackling Wee Willie off a mine. The Captain chides Rock for stunting instead of leading. Easy moves off, and Rock is chided by a nurse. But that night Nazi tanks and infantry break through and shell the crossroads. Rock gathers the "Pajama Commandoes" and launches a counter-strike to drive back the enemy. Rock's nurse defends him to the captain: he needs rest to recover. For once, Rock admits something's easy in Easy!
