Sgt. Rock

One of DC's more hardball characters, Sgt. Franklin Rock first appeared in Our Army at War #83 in 1959. He fought during WWII in the European Theatre, eventually rising to authority in his unit, Easy Company. He had many adventures in the pages of Our Army at War over the years, coming into conflict with a German Major nicknamed the Iron Major due to having an iron hand in place of his frostbitten one, his rigid moral code, iron will and strict adherence to rules. There has been some debate on a historic front as to what actual Sgt. ranking Rock had. Many spectualate that his official ranking was as platoon sergeant, despite having the stripes of a Master Sergeant, a rank that most infantry companies did not have. His adventures have been reprinted in several different volumes, Sgt. Rock Archives Vols. 1-3, Showcase Presents: Sgt. Rock Vols.S 1-3, Sgt. Rocks Combat Tales Vol. 1, Sgt. Rock: The Prophecy, Sgt. Rock: Between Hell and a Hard Place, and Sgt. Rock: The Lost Battalion. I recommend these volumes to anyone, because you are in for some war stories. After all, like Rock always said, "Nothin's easy in Easy Company."
