All-Out War #4

DC's "Giant Battle Book" delivers three combat magazines in one with All-Out War #4, and Joe Kubert's cover makes a vivid case for every cent of that dollar-comic price tag. Dominating the right side, the Viking Commando — blond, barrel-chested, and armed — leaps from a biplane in full assault mode, while inset panels tease the issue's other contents: a grim soldier caught in a sniper's crosshairs for "Death Comes in Three's," cold-weather troops on the "Road to Sunchon," a tense civilian scene tied to "The One-Minute War," and a close-up confrontation promising Black Eagle in "60-Second Vet" alongside the Robert Kanigher–written "Execution on Demand." It's a genuinely packed 1980 anthology that earns its "3 Combat Magazines in 1!" banner with gusto.
