A 15% BUYER'S PREMIUM WILL BE ADDED TO THIS ITEM AT CONCLUSION OF THE AUCTION
Joe Kubert pencils/Frank Springer inks; pages 2-3; 1976; image size 22.25" x 15"
1st issue with Sg. Rock title!This two page spread, from the first issue after the series was retitled from Our Army At War, features the first installment of a three part story chronicling Sgt. Rock's experiences in Italy. Unusually, Kubert did not ink his own pencils, and the story was instead inked by Springer, whose heavy, inky style calls to mind Milton Caniff, creator of Terry and the Pirates, on which Springer assisted early in his career. Pen and ink. Art is in excellent condition.
