Unknown Soldier

Garth Ennis and Kilian Plunkett deliver a grim, revisionist take on DC's classic war hero in this 1998 one-shot from DC Comics. Stripping away the patriotic veneer, the story reimagines the Unknown Soldier as a scarred, morally complex operative navigating the brutal realities of modern conflict. It matters as a stark, character-driven deconstruction of wartime mythology from one of comics' most celebrated war storytellers.
