I just read the following in my DC Email:

DC COMICS UNVEILS ADAM AND ANDY KUBERT COVERS FOR SGT. ROCK: THE PROPHECY #1
Superstar artists Adam and Andy Kubert have created two spectacular alternate covers for SGT. ROCK: THE PROPHECY #1, the first part of the 6-issue miniseries written and illustrated by their father, comics legend Joe Kubert.
The issue, set to arrive in stores on January 18, will be delivered to retailers in quantities of approximately 50% Joe Kubert covers and 25% each Adam and Andy Kubert covers.
"It is a large size thrill for me to have both my sons doing these covers," says Joe Kubert. "The biggest thrill came from the fact that they really wanted to do it - they didn't have to be asked twice! And when they showed me the work in progress, it was so great. The miracle of having these guys recognized for their talent is just wonderful, and the other part of the miracle is that they're so enthusiastic!"
"It's hard to describe how good it felt to draw an alternate cover for my dad's Sgt. Rock book," says Adam Kubert. "It really doesn't get any better than this."
Andy Kubert says, "I'm thrilled to have been asked to contribute to the launch of my dad' s newest project! I'm a huge fan of my father's work, and of the Sgt. Rock legacy. It's truly an honor to be able to be a part of this."
SGT. ROCK: THE PROPHECY #1 (NOV050284) is solicited in the November Previews (Volume XV #11) and is scheduled to arrive in stores on January 18.

I personally can't wait for this. Sgt. Rock was one of my favorites as a kid. Can't wait to see it.
For those of you who did not know (or care) I am a child of Jersey...you know,Springsteen,Sinatra,and The Kubert School of Art,which by the way,was the original Dover High School(my old almmater ,well,at least,until the 4th grade).
During that time in Dover,my days were filled with classic 60's TV Shows,GI Joes,friends,and yes,many comics(THANKS,MOM!).
The last 2 (friends and comics)have an interesting connection.One of my best friends,I guess, he was, because he liked comics and I liked comics..(life was so simple!)had alot in common.
We hung out at recess, both of us would bring in our Captain Actions for show and tell and, by the end of the day, they would be property for Miss Crabtrees,and we traded comics,too(no, not baseball card...COMICS!).
Clearly, I remember,once at lunch,looking through a Brave and the Bold comic with Hawkman (or it was a Hawkman comics?) and my buddy looking over my shoulder and proudly saying..."My Dad drew that comic...".Well,you know how kids are.."My Dad can whip your Dad",,,"My Dad makes a hundred dollars an hour"(that was mine)"..and so on...Well I said..."Yeah! Right! Sure he did!".
Well,years later,I learned my pal wasn't telling a fib...
So,Mr Andy Kubert,if you get to read this,I am sorry for ever doubting you...
And, by the way,give me back my GI Joe rifle you swiped from me....
HA HA! Great story, Ken. It is a small world indeed.
OK Ken, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to get all 3 to the store for a signing! Come on, play up the old buddy routine and the fact that he owes you a GI Joe rifle!
