In a time when America needed a true hero, Sgt. Frank Rock emerged as a symbol of patriotism during the United States battle against the Nazis in World War II. Reprinted in this edition are nineteen of the most hard-hitting Sgt. Rock war stories ever told, including an early "prototype" version of the ultimate war hero as well as his first appearance. Leading Easy Company against the worst evil man has truly ever faced, Sgt. Rock was and still is an emblem of America's fighting spirit.
Sgt. Rock made me. Through him and the adventures of his crew of grunts I learned to read English, immerse myself in World War II, and picked up the name "bulldozer" from my grammar school buddies. This was in the early Seventies when everyone, myself included, wanted an end to the Viet Nam War and at the same time needed heroes to worship from a "good war". Please, somebody, find me a GOODREADS REFERENCE to Rock's comic companions, The Unknown Soldier and Ghost Tank.
