Another fine "Archives" book from DC Comics,
By
This review is from: Sgt. Rock Archives, The - VOL 01 (Hardcover)
Although I grew up on the later issues of Sgt. Rock, these early issues are just as fun to read. If you like Sgt. Rock and are interested in his origins and the rest of Easy Company, it's a no-brainer buy. (It is probably also the only way you will ever own them anyway!) If you are expecting the 70's version of his comics with Enemy Ace or Unknown Soldier, you may want to buy a later version of the Archives (if DC continues to release them and I hope they do). I would not buy a Batman Archives #1 and expect the Batman of the 60's and 70's, I would expect old school (circa 1930's) Batman. This book is "old school" Sgt. Rock, and a gem at that. I can understand the other guys review that said it was not what he expected, but I think one star is a bit harsh. Take these books and other early Archive issues with a grain of salt, and try to read them in the context (or mindset) of when they were published and I think your expectations might align better. Yeah, they're hokey, corny and at times repetitious or even mediocre reading, but they are the ground floor of a great run of comics.

Let's Rock!,

This review is from: Sgt. Rock Archives, The - VOL 01 (Hardcover)
Here we have earliest Sgt. Rock stories. These aren't the most realistic war comics, but they are enjoyable. The artwork is terrific , too. I especially like the ones drawn by Joe Kubert.
