Star Spangled War Stories #201

DC's Star Spangled War Stories #201 delivers a novel-length battle blockbuster headlining the Unknown Soldier in "The Back-Alley War." Joe Kubert's cover pulls no punches — the bandage-wrapped Soldier wrestles a Nazi officer for control of a pistol while, behind them, enemy troops storm ashore from a swastika-marked submarine toward a city skyline, with the cover copy warning that a deadly plague will strike New York if the faceless warrior loses. Writer David Michelinie and artist Gerry Talaoc bring the tension inside, making this 1976 issue a gripping chapter in the Unknown Soldier's ongoing wartime saga.
