The return of a legend. I remember looking at Sgt. Rock comics at the barber shop in Fischbach, West Germany when I was a kid.

I hope Tucci does this wonderful character justice.

Yes—same here. At age 53, I may be hanging around a comic book stand once again.

My favorite from the World War II comics was ... The Haunted Tank

Sgt. Rock was/is great...but...
Sgt Fury & His Howling Commandos are IT.

Sounds a lot better than the PC girly-manification they are planning for G.I. Joe!! Hope Sgt. Rock stays tough and manly!!

There’s an error in the story. It was not “G.I. Combat” which changed its title to “Sgt. Rock” in 1977, but rather, “Our Army at War.”

Budabudabuda! - eat lead Commie ( or fill in your favorite bad guy) pig. My roomie at my first assignment was called Sgt Rock, former Marine and a hard as rock kinda guy.

When I was a kid I thought Sgt Rock was the greatest character ever. Years later I looked up one day... and realized that I had become Sgt Rock.

I am really, truly shocked that Dan Didio is going to let DC do this. This sounds like the artist tilts a little to the right (we know John Milius does), and that kind of viewpoint is nonexistant at DC, where writers like Judd Winick are busy killing off white heroes to “diversify” the DC universe. This is the company, after all, that started a major publicity campaign for their new lesbian Batwoman character. I can’t imagine this Rock project is going over too well with the rest of DC’s people.
