ROCK: BETWEEN HELL AND A HARD PLACE, an original 144-page VERTIGO hardcover graphic novel. November, 1944. In and around the Hürtgen Forest, some of the most brutally intense combat of World War II is underway. In the middle of this meat grinder, Sgt. Rock and the men of Easy Company—Ice Cream Soldier, Bulldozer, Wildman, Little Sure Shot, and others—sneak behind enemy lines to capture a group of German Intelligence officers. After a grueling night of battle, with the enemy nowhere to be found, Easy Company finds their prisoners slaughtered…all but one who somehow managed to escape. In the midst of war, where men are trained to kill without remorse, and with no commanding officer to consult, Sgt. Rock finds himself hunting a killer. Kubert and Azzarello tell a hard-boiled, realistic tale that treats these seminal characters with the respect they deserve and will leave readers begging for more.]
