“The Sub That Would Not Die!”

DC's long-running war anthology delivers a tense naval standoff in Unknown Soldier #244, with a cover by Joe Kubert that puts two soldiers in a desperate physical struggle atop a large torpedo — one determined to fire it at a nearby submarine, the other grabbing him to stop the shot. The dialogue crackles right on the cover: "Let go of me, Storm! I've got to sink that killer sub!" met with "I'm sorry, Soldier — but I can't let you fire that torpedo!" Boasting eight extra pages including the Dateline: Frontline feature, this October 1980 issue is a fine example of DC's commitment to gripping, action-driven war comics.
