Sgt. Rock: Between Hell & A Hard Place

    (DC, 2003)
™ and © DC Comics, Inc.

Can death on a battlefield be murder? That’s the question writer Brian Azzarello and the legendary artist Joe Kubert ask in this hard–hitting war story. Owing more to sophisticated dramas such as Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers than typical WWII films, Azzarello focuses on Easy Company, featuring Sergeant Rock and his hard–bitten crew.

The story takes place during the historical battle of Hurtgen Forest, where it’s hard to decide which is more intense—the combat or the cold. Easy has captured four German intelligence officers. By morning, three have been brutally slaughtered and one is missing. Following the bloody trail, Rock realizes that even in the midst of war he’s hunting a murderer. What will he do when he uncovers the truth? And what if the culprit is one of his own men?

Riveting to the end, this graphic novel dares to ask hard questions about the nature of war and the price of humanity.
