There’re rumors of SGT Rock & Easy Co. film in the works…
I have a whole big box full of Sgt Rock comics.I also have a 12" action figure of him
Yeah and they already plan on FUBARing it up by having it take place in the future and not WWII[cnsod]!
They will probably screw it up even more by getting Adam Sandler or Ben Stiller to play Rock[:@][:(DD]
My fave character was Bulldozer and his MG. Yeah baby! Who could forget those classic MG sounds “Budda budda, budda…”
I also loved GI Combat. anyone remember that hilarious issue where they sunk a Japanese destroyer in their Sherman?
I liked the OSS series that was in one or the other. can’t recall, but I think it was GI Combat.
Also used to pick up “Wierd War Tales” and “The Unknown Soldier” now & again… Plus, although they didn’t get their own comics, the recurring characters of LT Steve Savage (The Ballooon Buster, loosely based on Frank Luke) and LT Johnny Cloud (The Navajo Ace) were a couple more of my favorites…
Never figured how Savage could keep his cowboy hat on in a SPAD though…
Then there was my arch-enemy, a French SPAD pilot named “The Hangman”… And his ssiter, “The Harpy”…
I found a website some years ago that had a bunch of the old “Enemy Ace” comics on it, but I lost the link to it long ago and can’t remember what it was called… Should done some screenshots and put 'em on disc…
I liked all those comics you guys have mentioned, and am currently going thru my collection and catorgorizing and bagging my stash of comics… I also really liked the Sam Glazman stories of the USS Stevens, I found 2 graphic novels he put out on the net about his experiences… some of the books are peices from the comics, some are new tales…
and who can forget the symbol at the end of all the stories… " Make War, No More ",
I don’t think they did “Make War No More” tags until the 70’s…
Heh, I almost forgot… I onced served with a 1SG Rock… Don’t think he left the bunker the entire time we were in Doha…
Humm… I’m not sure, I’d have to look thru my stash, I don’t have many from the 60’s, mostly 70’s and on up untill they stopped publishing them… [:^)]
