“Old Soldiers Never Die”

"Old Soldiers Never Die" in Weird War Tales #42 (1975) delivers a quietly haunting tale as Barry of Bleeker Street arrives from a future 700 years distant, sharing his world’s story with the bewildered security staff at Lacy's department store. Written by Sheldon Mayer and brought to life with evocative art by Alfredo Alcala—pencils, inks, and letters all by the same hand—the issue blends time travel with a poignant, understated reflection on memory and endurance. Joe Kubert’s striking cover captures the story’s eerie, timeless mood.
