“Totentanz”

A tense, haunting cover from Joe Kubert puts you right behind the barbed wire alongside a crowd of desperate civilians — men, women, and children, one small girl clutching a doll — while an armed figure issues a chilling ultimatum: reveal the spy among them in three seconds, or they all die. Featuring the Unknown Soldier and a full-page Enemy Ace pin-up as a bonus, this September 1971 issue pairs Kubert's unsparing linework with Robert Kanigher's story "Totentanz" — a title that translates to "Dance of Death" and sets a grim tone before you've turned a single page. For fans of DC's war titles, this one carries real emotional weight right from the cover.
