The Unknown Soldier #4

Part four of DC's mature-readers 12-part series delivers one of the most striking images of 1989: the Unknown Soldier's bandage-wrapped face staring out from dense jungle foliage, blood streaking down from a wound as his cold blue eyes fix the reader with quiet intensity. The cover tagline — "It only looks like a war story" — hints at something deeper beneath the surface of "Libertador," the story inside by writer James Owsley and artist Phil Gascoine, who also handled the cover. If you've been following this run, issue four promises to keep raising the stakes.
