Star Spangled War Stories #174

Featuring the Unknown Soldier, this October 1973 DC issue puts a daring Allied deception front and center — a tank painted with German markings rolls through a war-torn street while disguised figures inside celebrate that "Nobody can tell we're not a Nazi tank!" Joe Kubert's cover frames the tense scene through the eyes of onlookers at the edges of the image, with enemy soldiers visible in the background none the wiser. Sam Glanzman handles the interior "Operation Snafu!" story solo — writing, penciling, and inking — promising the kind of gritty, hands-on war storytelling that made Star Spangled War Stories a reliable treat in the Bronze Age.
