Unknown Soldier #247

Joe Kubert's cover pulls no punches: the bandage-wrapped Unknown Soldier hauls desperate figures — including a frightened red-haired child — over a wall while Nazi soldiers below sneer that "only the dead leave the Warsaw Ghetto." The raw urgency of that image sets a sobering, high-stakes tone for "Season in Hell!" — a wartime story from Bob Haney, Dick Ayers, and Gerry Talaoc that clearly isn't pulling its punches inside, either. As a bonus, the issue also promises two extra battle blockbusters, making this 1981 issue a full, satisfying read for fans of DC's grittiest war comics.
