| Here's a few pics of Sgt Rock and Easy company with a few issues of the DC comic that inspired the figures! The guys themselves in all their GI Joe-esque glory!  Sgt 'Rocky' and/or 'The Rock' appeared in a few comics in the late 50's in one-off stories but by the early 60's the Sgt Rock character we all knew growing up was pretty much settled apon and appearing in 'Our Army at War'. A couple of issues from 1960/61   By the mid 60's Rock's billing as the comic's main strip was getting bigger.  (Check out the 'Enemy Ace's' story...watch them 'Fokkers' they got Stan Boardman into a lot of trouble!!)  The Nazi's were also getting more caricature 'nasty' bad guys. | |

| By 1966 (who dosen't love DC's groovy checker header?) Sgt Rock was getting a bit less gung-ho and a bit more angst driven.  The late 60's were probably Rock's best years.   The 'Iron Major' might make a cool AM bash!    A very hip splash page to this 1969 issue. Even as a kid I thought it didn't fit. Just like Donald Sutherland's hippy tanker in Kelly's heroes!  | |

| A 40th Joe in the 'Breakout from Normandy' set.  A great set but a word of warning...the real metal helmet in the set is too small for a normal Joe's head. I've swapped mine with the plastic one supplied with Sgt Rock himself. (Just in case Dal was wondering why my Rock's helmet was different to his!)  | |

| Wow! Awesome bunch of guys. I should be ashamed of myself as I only have one Sgt. Rock comic, I actually preferred ' Sgt.Fury & His Howling Commando's'....now there's a thought...  | |

| Great uploads Steve. I have to admit that I have got to the I want them too stage.
I think we are not helping each other out here , because when I see such uploads as yours & Dal's I think , Yep I like their look etc . So I'll get me some of those . Which then costs me money that I don't have! So then comes the dilemma !!
Who's house do I rob? lol.
Great thread Steve , really nice to view these......Thanks.
PS: Got a few quid I can borrow? lol. | |

| Fantastic post, Steve!!! I'm sorry I missed this when you posted it. Thanks for the link. Great photos of the figures and comics! I really like how you have posed the figures displaying the comics -- well done!!! I definitely cut my comic teeth on Sgt. Rock! Yeah, sure, Superman and Batman are great, but give me Sgt Rock!!! Thanks! Brian | |

| ...this figure looks great Steve! Is this your photo? I forgot you know so much about comics, I hadn't any idea these figures were featured like that. Makes them more interesting now! _________________ RalphMe? Well, I live life vicariously! My Action Man? Well, he lives life victoriously! See my photos @ Flickr | |
