Description
The first of six pages from the Sgt. Rock story "Hell's Island" published in the Sept. 1973 issue. I've mentioned elsewhere that the copies of Our Army at War illustrated by Russ Heath I was purchasing off the spinner racks between 1971 and 1975 had an enormous effect on me with Rock's Pacific Odyssey and the stories on either side of it being the high point.

This is one my favourite pages drawn by Russ and the detail is incredible.

Likewise for me Alan.  I bought this off the rack as well. The story has stuck with me ever since, in particular this page.  It really brought home the cost of war on both sides. Powerful stuff.

Destruction and devastation on what is supposed to be an island paradise.  Man and war sensessly ruin everything.

Impeccable staging and use of depth by Heath.

Low viewing angles emphasise the tragic loss. As you note, the detail is amazing. Great art.

Sobering two-thirds splash. Nice to have Rock in the corner narrarating the scene of death and devastation. Thank you for panel closeups to soak in the detail!
