OUR ARMY AT WAR #232

Cover shows moderate wear typical of the era: soft corners, some minor rubbing along the spine with a few small ticks visible, and slight surface wear to the red logo bar. There is minor waviness/warping to the cover stock and light edge wear along the right border. No major creases, tears, or color breaks are visible, and the book is currently housed in a plastic sleeve which obscures fine surface detail. Interior pages and back cover were not assessed.

Our Army at War #232 arrived in May 1971 as part of DC's durable Sgt. Rock line, the flagship of the publisher's war-comics output through the Bronze Age. Joe Kubert, the title's defining artistic voice, supplied the cover and interior art, working again with writer Robert Kanigher on the Easy Company formula that had carried the series since the 1950s. The issue is a solid but unremarkable entry in a long run rather than a milestone in the character's history; there is no first appearance, death, or landmark creative shift attached to this number.

Market data for the issue is sparse, reflecting the modest collector base for mid-run war comics relative to superhero anthologies of the same era. Certified population is small across all grades, with only a single recorded high-grade sale anchoring the FMV table, and no CGC 9.8 or 10 has ever reached the census. Pricing across the grade spectrum follows the pattern typical of niche Bronze Age war books: raw low- and mid-grade copies trade for token sums, while top-end certified copies command a real but limited premium driven more by scarcity of submissions than by broad demand.

This is a book for Kubert completists, Sgt. Rock run-builders, and war-comics specialists rather than generalist superhero collectors, and it typically moves in bulk lots or as filler in long-box runs at the low end. Mid-grade raw copies see occasional individual sales to readers assembling the series, while pristine certified copies are scarce enough that a well-preserved example would likely draw competitive bidding among the small pool of high-grade war-comic collectors, even without deep across-the-board demand.
