“Afternoon of the Assassins!”

The All-Star Squadron faces some of their most dangerous odds on this Joe Kubert cover, where a giant green insectoid villain — the martial arts monster Kung — tears through the team atop what appears to be a speeding locomotive, with heroes including Hawkman, a gold-armored figure, a blue metallic hero, and others scrambling to hold their ground. The cover copy promises mortal combat with Kung in a high-stakes mission to save the life of Winston Churchill himself, while also heralding the sensational return of Steel, the Indestructible Man. Roy Thomas and Gerry Conway craft the story inside, with art by Adrian Gonzales and Don Heck — a rousing slice of World War II superhero adventure from 1982 DC.
