Unknown Soldier #219

A Nazi officer stands triumphantly over a gravestone reading "Here Lies the Unknown Soldier," clutching what appears to be a bundle of bandages — the hero's trademark wrappings — while a speech bubble chillingly announces his plan to steal the Soldier's face and destroy the Allied High Command. Joe Kubert's cover art for this 1978 DC issue sets up a genuinely unsettling premise, with the bandaged stone monument looming in the background like a silent accusation. At 44 pages, the issue promises a full-length Unknown Soldier epic plus two additional tales of men at war — plenty of WWII action for half a dollar.
