Description

"War Story" by Robert Kanigher.

I bought this comic, read it as a kid, and still have it.

Famous newspaper reporter Ernie Patterson -- a doppelgänger for the famous GI Joe reporter Ernie Pyle -- tags along with Sgt. Rock and Easy Company on their patrol. They attack a castle they are taking fire from. Tony Saladino, a soldier who earlier introduced himself to the reporter, swims across the moat, climbs the raised draw bridge, and pushes a grenade through the chain mechanism, bringing down the bridge. In this page, Rock lets Tony to sit on the castle's throne for a photo. In the next page, however, he's shot by a sniper as the reporter prepares to take the picture. The story continues with more tragic losses and ends with the reporter tossing his notebook titled "War Story." The wind blows across the blank pages to one with a single sentence, "War is hell!"

Be careful, Tony. (It was rarely a good sign for a character joining Easy Co. to not have a nickname.) A very nice, expertly inked and beautifully detailed page from Russ ("my" Sgt. Rock artist).

A grittier look for the typically clean-lined Mr. Heath, but that's fitting since he's showing a battle and its aftermath. Great page!
