Star Spangled War Stories #196

The bandage-wrapped Unknown Soldier bursts through a shattering window, a bound and gagged blonde woman in his arms, while Nazi soldiers scramble below and a swastika flag looms ominously in the background — Joe Kubert's cover composition crackles with tension and urgency. This February 1976 issue of Star Spangled War Stories pairs that striking Kubert cover with an interior story, "Target Red," crafted by writer David Michelinie and artist/inker Gerry Talaoc. If you enjoy wartime espionage drama with a master of disguise at its center, this one belongs on your reading list.
