Star Spangled War Stories #136

Two massive dinosaurs lunge from opposite sides of the cover, their jaws snapping just inches from a pair of desperate G.I.s fighting from a U.S. Army jeep — it's a jaw-dropping image that perfectly captures DC's beloved "War that Time Forgot" era. Joe Kubert's cover work is visceral and kinetic, the soldiers firing back even as the prehistoric beasts close in from both flanks on Monster Island. With interior work by Howard Liss and Jack Abel, this January 1967 issue delivers exactly the kind of wild, anything-goes adventure that made Star Spangled War Stories such a distinctive corner of the DC universe.
