OUR ARMY AT WAR #190

Cover shows moderate wear typical of a Silver Age Giant: soft corners, a diagonal crease line visible running through the upper right cover art, and mild surface rubbing with slight color loss along the spine area. No major tears or missing pieces are visible, and the book is protected in a plastic sleeve which limits full assessment of edges. Interior pages and back cover were not visible and were not assessed.

Our Army at War #190, cover-dated March 1967, is a mid-run issue from DC's long-running Sgt. Rock vehicle, produced during the title's most celebrated creative stretch under writer Robert Kanigher and artist Joe Kubert. By this point Sgt. Rock and Easy Company had become the signature war feature at DC, and Kubert's gritty, kinetic linework defined the visual identity of the entire war line through the mid-1960s. The issue is a standard installment rather than an origin, first appearance, or landmark storyline, but it represents the title at the height of its Silver Age creative partnership.

Market data reflects a low-population, low-liquidity book typical of secondary Silver Age war titles: total certified census sits at 39 copies, with sparse sales recorded at nearly every grade and no certified example above 9.4. Pricing climbs steeply once copies clear the 9.0 threshold, moving from double digits in mid grades to several hundred dollars at 9.2, which signals that demand is concentrated among condition-sensitive Kubert/Kanigher completists rather than broad key-issue speculation. The absence of any 9.6 or 9.8 on census underscores how thin high-grade supply is for this specific issue, even though the series as a whole is well collected.

This book trades as a Kubert-art acquisition for Sgt. Rock and DC war-comics specialists rather than as a mainstream key. Lower and mid-grade raw copies move steadily but modestly as reading and run-filling copies within long-term Our Army at War collections. High-grade certified examples, given their extreme scarcity relative to demand, would command a notable premium if a 9.6 or 9.8 ever surfaced, but pricing at that tier remains speculative absent census population to anchor it.
