Unknown Soldier #213

DC's long-running WWII series delivers another tense moment in this March 1978 issue, with a cover by Joe Kubert that puts the bandage-wrapped Unknown Soldier in immediate peril — a young Nazi soldier presses a pistol directly to his head while armed German troops stand watch behind barbed wire. The speech bubbles make the stakes crystal clear: someone has promised a child safe passage to England, while that same child coldly declares he only wants to see the Soldier dead. With a story titled "The Ten Year Old Secret Weapon!" and the creative team of Bob Haney and Dick Ayers on the interior, this issue promises the kind of morally charged wartime drama that made Unknown Soldier one of DC's most compelling adventure titles of the era.
