“Hour of the Beast!”

A horned, snarling beast-man dominates this March 1982 cover, hurling terrified Nazi soldiers in every direction while the bold cover copy teases whether this creature is a genuine fiend from hell or the Unknown Soldier's most audacious disguise yet. Joe Kubert's cover artwork crackles with menace and momentum, wringing genuine dread from the panicked faces of the Wehrmacht troops scrambling to escape. A corner inset also promises a bonus story pitting Enemy Ace against Enemy Ace — making this an especially packed issue of DC's long-running war series.
