Description
"Mercy Mission" by Robert Kanigher, May 1975.

Easy Company has just crossed the Remagen Bridge into Germany. Smoke signals that spell "chow is ready" above a destroyed German tank lures the company into a trap. A German machine gun opens up, which Sgt. Rock takes out with a grenade. As they regroup, Rock orders a wounded soldier back to the aid station. A German soldier reaches for Rock's ankle...

The page says the issue is #286 but it ran in #280, a .50 cent giant issue celebrating the 200th anniversary of Sgt. Rock’s first appearance in #81.

George Evans is known for his World War I aviation art in comics and illustration art. In addition to EC and DC war stories, he also drew two military aviation stories in Warren Publications's short-lived Blazing Combat, "Flying Tigers!" and "How It Began!" "Flying Tigers!" is noteworthy for his brush work and graytones.

Very well illustrated in the first two panels of pure Rock.  The rest of it looks so good with war imagery we don't see much in modern comics.  Nice tense last panel to set us up to turn the page.

The top panel with the inset is great!

Ironically, Rock's face in the inset looks like Alan Davis's sketch from Terrificon this year.
