When Remco took on DC’s toughest soldier…
Memorial Day is only two weeks away, but we’re getting a head start with this EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT from Back Issue #127 — the Soldiers Issue — due May 26.
The issue is jam-packed with Bronze Age war stories, as the table of contents shows:
But one story that really caught my eye was Mike Pigott’s brief history of Remco’s Sgt. Rock toys.
I was completely unaware of this small-scale Easy Co. until adulthood, so I found it particularly informative.
So dig this piece — and again, it only scratches the surface of what’s a very compelling issue. Pick it up!

Remco, though… ugh. Bottom of the barrel of action-figure makers. They should have done an article on those limited-edition DC figures that were put out by Hasbro as part of the 12″ G.I. JOE line…. Enemy Ace, Blackhawk, Mlle. Marie, etc.
