A little while back (August 16th to be exact) we spotlighted Amazing 3-D Comics from Yoe Books (our gracious hosts here at the I.T.C.H. blog) featuring an amazing multi-level lenticular cover by comics legend Joe Kubert. I thought it was about time we paid tribute to Joe. So that’s precisely what I’m doing!

In addition to inventing 3-D comics (with Norman Maurer), an accomplishment for which Kubert would hold a privileged place in comics history for that alone, Joe drew approximately one bajillion pages of comic books. Although Mr. K’s resume includes things like the first Silver Age appearance of The Flash and a solid run on Hawkman, he is perhaps best known for his incredible output on the DC war comics, especially Sgt. Rock.

It just so happens that there’s a song about Sgt. Rock. (Otherwise, why would I bring it up? It is Comics Tunes Tuesday, after all.) No less than the band XTC is behind this musical tribute to the leader of Easy Co. and his long-time artist. Joe Kubert we salute you!
