Unknown Soldier #218

A chilling war-room scene dominates Joe Kubert's cover: a group of Nazi officers — swastikas plainly visible — huddle around a table, one pointing directly at a photograph of the Unknown Soldier's trademark bandage-wrapped face, while the blunt speech bubble declares "The Unknown Soldier Must Die!" The tagline "The full fury of the Nazi war machine — directed at one man!" makes the stakes unmistakably personal. Bob Haney's script and Dick Ayers's interior art bring the tension of 1978 DC war comics to a sharp edge in this gripping installment.
