Description

Fight the good fight to capture this 4/59 DC Comics Our Army at War #81 issue. DC got it right in the war department with the introduction of Sgt. Rock, who makes an appearance as "Sgt. Rocky/The Rock of Easy Co." in this classic prototype issue. Rock would officially make his true first appearance in Our Army at War #83. Prior to this famous first issue, there were several prototype issue appearances in the anthology titles G.I. Combat and Our Army at War. This #81 issue is by far the most valuable of the five Rock prototype/introductory comics. To date, CGC has graded 202 examples of this seminal issue in Universal Grade holders. Rated 8.5, Off-White pages by CGC, the offered comic is "1 of 5" at the 8.5 grading tier, with just 1 higher at 9.0, making this a golden opportunity for advanced key issue specialists to score one of the five second highest graded examples of this important comic. Label notes are "Bob Haney story, Jerry Grandenetti cover, Ross Andru, Mike Esposito, Russ Heath, Joe Kubert & Jack Abel art. Sgt. Rocky of Easy Co. appears. Last Sgt. Rock prototype."
