The third DC Archives volume of Sgt. Rock captures the tough-as-nails soldier in World War II tales from Our Army at War #111-125. The stories generally fall into two categories: First, meeting the combat-happy joes of Easy Co., all branded with a nickname, or "battle tag"--Ice Cream Soldier, Wild Man, Sunny, Bulldozer, etc.--or second, breaking in green, disinterested, or otherwise ill-fitting soldiers into the squad. Common messages include: opposing tanks always go for the bazooka first; peppering a tank with bullets through the view slots will eventually set off the ammo; and nothing's easy in Easy Co. But we also meet Rock's "battle family" and see him when he leads a Nazi force against Easy. The stories are all by Rock creator Bob Kanigher, and the majority of the art is by Joe Kubert, with contributions from Russ Heath and Irv Novick. --David Horiuchi
