I got a blast from the past last weekend. I went with my son and grandson to a local comic book store, Bankston's in Waco, Tx. Brice wanted to go since it was National free comic book day in the business (get rid of the deadwood, I guess). I was looking around, pretty disappointed and then spotted the era of material I was interested in inside a locked display case.
DC comics from the sixties with the 12c or 15 cent price tag. hmmm. up into double digit price tags. showing my age here.....
I asked about military titles, especially 'Our Army at War', 'Fighting Forces' or 'GI Combat'. An employee took me to the back and pulled a box marked 'war comics' out of a stack in the corner. I found few of the ones I was interested in and found none of the one with the American Indian ace, Johnny Cloud. I did however find a couple of "Enemy Ace" with Rittmeister von Hammer, featured in "Star Spangled War Stories."
I remember the first Issue of that one. I picked up issue no. 146, Aug. Sept. 1969 for fifteen clams.

Rock on dude, Sgt Rock was the main one for me. I also read Gunner and Sarge and the Haunted Tank too. The germans with their 88's only plowed dirt but the M3 with the 37 mm knocked out every one they saw. I loved it.
On DC war comics topic, what was the name of the American Indian in the Mustang along with that group. I didn't read that one as much as Sgt Rock but he was cool.
I also read Freak Brothers comix at a later age.
blue skies,
