About the series
Based on the popular 1950s television sitcom, DC Comics' Sergeant Bilko ran for 18 issues from 1957 to 1960, adapting the army-base misadventures of the scheming Sgt. Ernie Bilko and his motley crew of Fort Baxter regulars. Writers Cal Howard and Jack Schiff, along with artists Bob Oksner, Bernard Baily, and Lou Cameron, brought the fast-talking con man's get-rich-quick schemes to four-color life, often clashing with the long-suffering Col. John T. Hall. The book stands as a charming, period-specific example of a TV-to-comics adaptation, capturing the lighthearted, sitcom energy of its source material for a Cold War-era audience.
