| Not sure how much I will read, but I could just enjoy looking at the artistry of each panel for a long time. Can't even describe how much more I appreciate this art work to the giant splash page action poses that are so popular in today's books. It draws you in and captures the imagination in a way that "Action Pose" art just cannot. | ||

| Im glad you enjoyed the post and the Joe Kubert Art, but to me it is the stories that define the characters and draw one into the emotional interactions between them and the conflicts they are faced with. Kubert's art panel's flow flawlessly with the dialogue, but to me the story is the true star and power of any book. Without story...... it just a bunch of pictures without any moral or emotional connection to anything. The lack of original story telling and creative writing is what is sorely missing in today's comic book media |

| I was long under the impression that Bob Kanigher served during "The Big One" because of his vivid stories, only to be corrected. It seems that many comics creators were members of the Armed Forces, mostly drafted, including Joe Kubert. Makes me wonder just how much of Joe's--non artistic--influence there was for stories like this one. A splendid example, thanks. | ||

| Oh man, now you've got me searching Ebay and MCS for cool war books to buy! Yesterday it was cool silver age Batman covers. This forum is just dangerous! I don't even want to sell anything anymore, just want to buy and keep for personal collection. The story is very cool. Always amazed how timeless and versatile the ancient "morality play" is...start with a point that is worth making and then build a story around it. Reminds me of the original Star Trek series which I've heard described as a Morality Play in Space. These could be described as Morality Plays on the Battlefront. Was there something that made you choose this particular story for the first posting? |

Quote:Originally Posted by RRO Starting in 1952, Kanigher began editing and writing the "big five" DC Comics' war titles: G.I. Combat, Our Army at War, Our Fighting Forces, All-American Men of War, and Star Spangled War Stories. His creation of Sgt. Rock with Joe Kubert is considered one of his most memorable contributions to the medium. Comics historian Bill Schelly noted that "Kanigher's scripts were built on well-orchestrated dramatic sequences, with the story's objects not war-time danger and violence, but the impact these events had on the men of Easy Company." |

| The beauty of sequential art storytelling.... which is by in large a lost art today in comics. The masters knew how to do it. Side note: Read Scott McClouds' Understanding Comics for more info on sequential storytelling |
