Unknown Soldier #257

A massive red missile dominates the cover of this November 1981 DC war title, its stark presence underscoring the desperate stakes spelled out in the tagline: "Whoever owns this missile wins the war!" In the foreground, the bandage-faced Unknown Soldier fires his pistol in a fierce close-quarters exchange against a squad of advancing enemy soldiers, sparks flying as bullets cross the smoky battlefield. Also packed into this issue are backup features Captain Storm and the Gallery of War, with Joe Kubert's cover art capturing the frantic tension of a high-stakes wartime race.
