Kubert & Heath: War Comics!

Well, with Memorial Day coming up here in the U.S., I started thinking about war comics. And when you think about war comics, you end up thinking about Sgt. Rock. And when you think about Sgt. Rock, you have to think about Joe Kubert and Russ Heath. Of course the Heath cover is great. The Kubert art spans 1961 to 1982. I don't know if I can think of another comic book artist who was so consistently good over such a long period of time. (And Kubert was doing good stuff before 1961 and after 1982)
