Comicentric Issue 26: Sgt Rock vs Evil (nazi un)Dead or Bruce Campbell’s bike
Can you think of something with more horrible than war? Well add an army of the undead to that and mix in Horror legend Bruce Campbell and you got your self an interesting setting. Campbell brings you a story of reanimated terror in, DC Horror Presents: Sgt. Rock vs. the Army of the Dead.
Set in the backdrop of World War II where behind German lines a mad scientist do what mad scientist does.
It is no secret that During WWII the Germans experimented with all sorts of strategies to tip the tide of the war. That included experiments that went beyond the understanding of man. From looking for lost artifacts with supposed power of Gods to experimenting in the lab with reanimation trying to become one.
While some of the experiments bore no fruit. Others were marvels of modern science. And that’s what Bruce Campbell uses to bring his story to life. The experiments the Germans where crafting where that of a sci fi comic. So it makes sense using low-fi sci-fi to take on the undead.
“How do you kill something that’s already dead? Answer: It’s a big fat pain in the ass.” -Bruce Campbell
Bringing us the uneven boxer’s nose, ever present stubble, and a lot of masculinity wrapped in military fatigue this time around is no other than Eduardo Risso; 100 bullets, Jonah hex, Logan and several batman titles. Risso’s art brings to life to the undead in a way only he could with mood lighting to rival any old monster movie.
So, if you like the art of Ed Risso or the musings of Bruce Campbell or you just like the undead. This is the book for you.
