House ad for Sgt. Rock #405-406 (October-November 1985); printed in World's Finest Comics #319 (September 1985)
Ad art: pencils and inks by Joe Kubert
The two-part story "Angels with Black Wings" in Sgt. Rock #405-406 suffers from a few clichés (then again, what comic book, even war books, didn't?) but is a genuinely well-done and well-intended story of the Tuskegee Airmen of World War II, through the eyes of a pilot who tells his story to Sgt. Rock, despite Rock being ordered not to mingle with the black airmen.

Amen.

Amen indeed.
Interesting. I remember this ad very wall, as some of my first comics were all from this era and the ad showed up a number of times. Never saw the actual story before though.
