Unknown Soldier #220

DC's long-running war title delivers a gripping setup in this 1978 issue, with cover art by Joe Kubert showing the bandage-faced Unknown Soldier striding confidently through a ragtag group of rough-looking men behind barbed wire, rifle in hand. His speech bubble promises to forge them into "the deadliest unit in Europe," hinting at the kind of against-the-odds military drama that made this series a staple of the era. With 44 pages of all-new action — including "The Rubber Band Heroes" by writer Robert Kanigher and artist Ric Estrada — this issue offers plenty of WWII storytelling for the price of fifty cents.
