Star Spangled War Stories #160

A tense standoff beneath a towering Buddha statue sets the stage in this 1971 DC war anthology, as a knife-wielding figure in a pink robe demands a secret code — threatening self-destruction unless the answer is given — while a bound, upside-down captive hangs helplessly in the foreground. Joe Kubert's cover art crackles with desperate urgency, framing the Unknown Soldier's world as one where every decision carries life-or-death weight. The cover's haunting tagline — "Is This the End of the Immortal G.I.?" — makes this 48-page, 25-cent issue hard to set down unread.
