Sgt. Rock: The Lost Battalion

Billy Tucci both writes and illustrates this single-issue DC Comics war story from 2009, which aims to spotlight the real-life ordeal of the U.S. Army's 1st Battalion, 141st Infantry during World War II. Rather than a typical Sgt. Rock adventure, it’s a respectful, fact-based tribute to the "Lost Battalion" of the Texas National Guard, who were surrounded by German forces in the Vosges Mountains. Tucci’s detailed artwork and research-driven narrative bring a grim, human-scaled perspective to a lesser-known chapter of the war, making it a standalone, heartfelt entry in DC’s war comics legacy.
