Notes[]

  • When the Sgt. Rock — Paratrooper strip began, Rock himself was initially no more than a narrator of one-off stories revolving around the regiment (some of which may have been retouched reprints from earlier titles). Later, he would take a more active role, the title of the strip eventually changing to Sgt. Rock — Special Air Service as Rock went into action with the S.A.S.
  • Technically, Sgt. Rock started life as an Odhams character, but in reality his strip was a part of the post-Odhams Power Comics era of Smash! under new publishers IPC, started a little early in order to provide the title with some continuity after its relaunch.
  • Sergeant Rock strips later appeared in several Battle Picture Weekly annuals and specials.

Trivia[]

Sgt. Rock has no connection to the DC Comics character of the same name.
