Talk:Sgt. Rock

Adam Rook

There's incorrect info on this page regarding a supposed relative of Frank Rock called Adam Rock, in the pages of Swamp Thing. However, that's not the character's name. He's Adam Rook, not Rock. Someone has misread the Swamp Thing issue. There is no relation, so this should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.196.162.105 (talk) 20:21, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

Page move

Does anyone know why this page was moved from Sgt. Rock to Rock (comics)? It seems unnecessary and counter-intuitive to disambiguate in this instance, unless someone knows something that I don't. I was unable to find a discussion of this move, which occurred before my time as an editor. At the moment, I am inclined to ask that it be moved back. But, I wanted to check on this first. --GentlemanGhost 22:22, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

I have been wondering the same thing, and I could not find any discussion of it either. I agree that it is entirely counter-intuitive, and support a reversion of the move. ---Charles 04:46, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

PLEASE MOVE IT BACK. Fully support, and frankly think the current page title is idiotic.Michael Dorosh 05:12, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

How about Sgt.Rock (Comics)? Jack Cain 07:24, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

I think that the parenthetical (comics) is unnecessary. Unless there's another Sgt. Rock that I don't know about. -- GentlemanGhost 09:29, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

It probably is not necessary, no. But, just to be on the safe side, we should probably include it. ---Charles 18:26, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Moved to Sgt. Rock (comics), best to be on the safe side I feel.. -- Ipstenu (talk|contribs) 14:12, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Good work, thanks.Michael Dorosh 15:14, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Heh. Nothing wrong with being on the safe side. Thanks a lot! --GentlemanGhost 03:46, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Justice League TV Show Appearance

There should be a mention of Sgt. Rock and Easy Company's appearance on Justice League Season One episodes "The Savage Time" Parts 2 and 3.

Sgt. Frank Rock's full name

was there a mention in Sgt. Rock: Between Hell & a Hard Place [paperback]on Frank's middle name or I imagine it?

Title

No offense but we should move it to Frank Rock because later Frank Rock became a Generel even if it was a fake one. Brian Boru is awesome 01:45, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

No - the general bit was an a) an afterthought and b) a fake. --Charlesknight 05:58, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

No, it needs to be moved to Frank rock. And I don't care what your little A and B are. Quit forcing your little opinion. You can't even spell afterthought correctly. Hungrygirl 20:49, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

The character is iconic as a sergeant, and his post-WWII usage was not done as part of the original vision of the character. I Opppose any further name changes for that reason.Michael Dorosh^Talk 21:19, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

• Suggestion While I oppose a renaming of this page, a redirect page would be appropriate, from "General Frank Rock" to this page. I can understand the wisdom of doing it the other way around, since if he was a real person, he would be listed under the highest rank achieved, but since he is most commonly known as Sgt. Rock I feel it more appropriate to list him as such here; especially since the title of the comic book was also listed as such. A redirect page would be fine if someone felt there was a necessity due to people searching under that designation.Michael Dorosh^Talk 21:55, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Can you see me now?

Sgt Rock Survived WW II

• One 1960's comic has Sgt Rock at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier after World War II remenising about a Live "Unknown Soldier" who keeps helping Easy Company-yet seems to disappear. Sgt Rock Doesn't know it but an hidden stranger is "Unknown Soldier" who reconizes Sgt Rock! {According to two story line "Unknown Soldier (DC Comics)" is a badly disfigured survivor from Pearl Harbor attack who undertakes secret OSS missions against the enemy {germans/Japanese} during World War II} —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.53.145.131 (talk) 13:48, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

The Lost Battalion

According to the citations, in this new series, Sgt. Rock is amember of 1st Battalion, 14st Infantry and *rescued* by the 442nd regimental combat team (which is composed of Asian-Americans). I changed text to reflect this. 24.160.242.185 (talk) 23:17, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Trade paperbacks and collected issues

Do you think that the collected issues like Showcase presents: Sgt. Rock and Sgt. Rock archives worth a new chapter? I saw this solution in the Green Arrow article. HTBites (talk) 17:55, 26 February 2009 (UTC) I believe they are worth it, I do own the collections myself, so yes---- Nerd4U
