Great!

Strangely enough, the first thing that struck me was that I'd forgotten that there were African Americans in Easy. (in Sgt Rock's Easy Company that is.) But then again, I've only read a few hundred pages of his adventures in Norwegian and Danish reprints, so there's much that I missed.

A great piece. And so very appropriate as a celebration of the news of the Sgt Rock Showcase.

The rendering on Captain America is awesome. Specifically the fold on his boots.

Great commission JB. Love the detail (as usual) especially on the Nazi Robots. Captain America is in great hands when you deal with him.

What a great shot. Due to the size of my monitor is was a "slow" reveil. First Cap and the Skull. Then the robots and finaly the combat happy joes of Easy. Very much a surprise.

Heck I think I even know the names of all the Easy guys shown.

It is worth remembering that it was the intergration of the armed forces, never exactly a bastion of liberalism, that struck some of the strongest blows for civil rights, as White soldiers found themselves forced to served and fight alongside Black soldiers, and experienced first hand that Negroes (to use the appropriate term of the time) were, after all, men like them. And in many cases, brave and even heroic men. White soldiers brought those experiences home (especially after serving in Korea) and began to see, really for the first time for many of them, the inequities infecting our society.

"Easy Co." is Easy Company, Sergeant Rock and his men. Look over on the right side of the piece for the other appropriate copyright notation.

You're right!!

Puts you ahead of me! I had to Google them to be sure.

This is a great piece.  I love it!

As a reference, it is important to note that Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in Baseball before it was broken in the Army.  Serves to illustrate the importance of what he did, I think.
