Star Spangled War Stories #188

DC's Star Spangled War Stories #188 (June 1975) puts the Unknown Soldier in a razor-sharp fix: cover artist Ernie Chan frames the bandage-wrapped hero squaring off across a table against a blond Nazi officer, both men jabbing accusatory fingers at each other while a distressed woman in the background cries out, "He's the enemy… kill him!" The tension is immediate and the setup irresistible — whose cover is about to be blown? Writer David Michelinie and artist Gerry Talaoc bring the story "Encounter" to life inside, promising exactly the kind of behind-enemy-lines intrigue this series does so well.
