Easy Company (comics)

Easy Company is the name of a fictional comic book World War II US Army infantry unit led by Sgt. Rock in stories published by DC Comics.

In the stories, the unit saw action in every combat zone in the European theatre . Unlike actual units, the unit has at least one African-American member, which was in defiance of racial segregation policy of the Army.

Core members of Easy Company included:

  • Sgt. Frank Rock - the company leader
  • Bulldozer - A large, strong and not terribly bright member.
  • Wildman - Noted for his bright red full beard.
  • Jackie Johnson- an African-American trooper
  • Little Sureshot - A Native American who always decorates his helmet with some feathers
  • Ice Cream Soldier - A small soldier who is at his best in combat during cold weather.

This does not include anonymous replacements and one-time characters who are frequently killed off in the stories.
