Star Spangled War Stories #182

This October 1974 DC issue features two of comics' most compelling wartime characters: the Unknown Soldier and Enemy Ace, whose intense, goggled face dominates the lower portion of Joe Kubert's dynamic cover amid bursts of flame and aerial chaos. Above, a group of Allied soldiers gleefully discover an abandoned Nazi staff car — swastika emblazoned on its door — their delight captured perfectly in the cover's speech balloons ("Hot Dawg… No More Foot-Sloggin'!"). Kubert's cover work is characteristically gripping, making this a satisfying package of WWII adventure for just twenty cents.
