Unknown Soldier #208

DC's long-running war series delivers a sweeping "blockbuster battle novel" in this October 1977 issue, subtitled "Death Duel in the Desert." The cover by Al Milgrom thrusts the Unknown Soldier front and center — his face wrapped in the character's signature white bandages beneath a desert headscarf, tommy gun in one hand as he signals a charge with the other, while helmeted Allied soldiers surge forward around him and a tank looms through the palm trees in the dusty background. It's a vivid, kinetic image that captures the Faceless Warrior at full tilt, and with Bob Haney scripting and Dick Ayers on interior art, the story behind that striking cover promises plenty of WWII action to match.
