Part eight of Jim Owsley, Phil Gascoine, and Arne Starr's 12-part mature-readers series delivers a tense winter chase rendered in Gascoine's confident linework — the bandage-faced Unknown Soldier tears across a snowy mountainside on a red snowmobile while a military helicopter pursues overhead, cables sparking against the icy terrain. Pursuers visible in the background and the tagline "It only looks like a war story" hint that this 1989 DC series has deeper ambitions than straightforward combat action. A gripping mid-series moment that keeps the momentum building toward the finale.
