Bruce Campbell made his mark on the DC Universe with the DC Horror comic book series Sgt. Rock vs. The Army of the Dead last year, and a collected edition is on the way.
Written by Bruce Campbell, with art by comics legend Eduardo Risso, DC Presents: Sgt. Rock vs. The Army of the Dead Hardcover Collection will release in October 2023.
Created by writer Robert Kanigher and artist Joe Kubert, Sgt. Rock first appeared in June, 1959, in DC’s anthology comic Our Army at War Issue #83. His origin was set during World War II, where Sgt. Rock and his unit, the Easy Company, fought in the European Theatre.
The press release reminds, “The character became so popular that, in 1977, the Our Army at War series was renamed Sgt. Rock, and ran under the Sgt. Rock name until 1988.”
Sgt. Rock now returns in Bruce Campbell’s DC Horror Presents: Sgt. Rock vs. The Army of the Dead to fight the most horrific enemy he’s ever encountered: resurrected dead Nazi soldiers.
The story begins in Berlin, 1944. The Nazis are flanked on all fronts by the combined Allied forces, and defeat seems inevitable. In a last-ditch effort to turn the tide of the war, Hitler and his team of evil scientists create a serum that resurrects their dead soldiers, creating an army of the dead even stronger than they were in life.
