Star Spangled War Stories #193

The bandage-wrapped Unknown Soldier bursts dramatically through a rooftop doorway into a shaft of light, hands raised, while a group of armed Nazi soldiers close in from the right — a tense standoff rendered with striking depth by cover artist Joe Kubert. This November 1975 DC issue pairs that gripping image with an intriguing story title, "Save the Children!", suggesting the stakes go well beyond the Soldier's own survival. Gerry Conway and Gerry Talaoc bring the interior tale to life in what is a solidly crafted entry in DC's dependable wartime anthology.
