Sgt. Rock Archives

Simply put, Sgt. Rock of Easy Company is the longest running and most popular hero in war comics, ever. But it was not always so. As DC's war comics proliferated in the 1950s, their stories usually centered on one brave individual soldier -- in a one-time-only appearance -- in over his head and trying not only to survive but also to overcome the chaos around him. However, as the years went by, across the titles one face and one name began to emerge from the crowd... "Rock came to full term in his own good time, without my consciously being aware of his kicking to emerge," related Sgt. Rock creator, editor and writer Bob Kanigher. In Volume One we saw a "Rock" slowly appear from the various one-shot heroes that were the norm in DC's war comics. Now, in this volume we see the true Sgt. Rock of Easy Company that so many comic readers remember -- the stories more mature, that art even more refined, the creative team and the formula now coming together. With stories by Bob Kanigher art by Joe Kubert, Russ Heath, and Irv Novick, we get to witness the evolution and establishment of the most iconic hero in war comics ever.
