Sgt. Rock #16

In "Iron Major—Rock Sergeant," the relentless Hans von Hammer finds himself in a deadly standoff after downing a British Bristol fighter whose pilot has run out of ammo. Now, facing a determined British pilot in a Fokker with no weapons of his own, the stakes are higher than ever. Written by Bob Kanigher and illustrated with gritty precision by Joe Kubert—pencils and inks—this 1991 issue captures a tense aerial duel with the weight of war pressing in. The cover, also by Kubert, perfectly frames the moment’s intensity.
