40 Years Ago Today From DC Comics -- Our Army at War #182

Our Army at War #182 (On Sale: May 2, 1967) has another great Russ Heath "Sgt. Rock" cover.

Inside we have "The Desert Rats of Easy" by Robert Kanigher and Russ Heath featuring "Sgt. Rock."

The real news here though is the backup story, "It's My Turn to Die," written by Howard Liss and introducing the Pulse-Pounding Penciling Wizardry of Neal Adams! DC Comics will never be the same. Over the next few years Neal will turn DC on its head, redefining comic book super-hero art forever. But it all started at DC right here, on a Bob Kanigher war book.

I have a copy of this in the mail to me as we speak. When it arrives I'll scan a page or two and put it up here; this book is history in the making.

Edited by Robert Kanigher.
