Unknown Soldier #241

The Unknown Soldier, bandaged and alert, faces down an armed mob demanding he prove his identity before their "Sacred Oracle" — or be executed as a traitor — while a serene ancient statue looms in the foreground, her calm presence contrasting sharply with the tension surrounding her. Joe Kubert's cover art captures that precarious moment beautifully, balancing the soldier's vulnerability against the quiet authority of the stone figure the cover tagline promises can save him. "Shall Heroes Prevail?" is a sharp slice of Cold War–era DC adventure storytelling from 1980, with a premise that hooks you immediately.
