“The Subway War!”

Two pulse-pounding stories share the spotlight in this 1981 DC double-feature, promising "fury on two fronts with two combat stars." Joe Kubert's cover delivers exactly that: the main image thrusts readers into a dramatic life-and-death struggle atop the Statue of Liberty herself, where figures scramble and fight across Lady Liberty's torch and crown, while a neatly framed inset panel showcases the intense, goggled face of Enemy Ace amid WWI biplanes and aerial explosions. It's a striking piece of cover art from Kubert that captures the book's dual-narrative ambition — urban espionage thriller meets killer-skies aerial combat — all for fifty cents.
