Showcase Presents: The Unknown Soldier #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis massive black-and-white volume collects the earliest adventures of the Unknown Soldier, a disfigured World War II soldier who becomes a master of disguise and covert operations for the Allies. Originally published in the late 1960s and early 1970s, these stories from Star Spangled War Stories and other DC war comics showcase the grim, espionage-driven tales that defined the character's original run. The collection offers a deep dive into the gritty, morally complex warfare storytelling of the Silver and Bronze Ages, presented in DC's budget-friendly Showcase Presents format.
In "I'll Never Die!", a young soldier and his brother Harry are separated from their unit and ambushed by Japanese forces during a brutal wartime retreat. As Harry falls, the survivor is left shattered—physically and emotionally—his face and body ravaged by the attack.
In "The True Glory," the Unknown Soldier is dispatched to uncover what’s stalling the Allied advance, only to stumble upon Big Mac and Buster—two ordinary G.I.s fighting to survive, who’ve accidentally uncovered a dangerous secret about a spy within their ranks.
