The lead story “The Mystery G.I.” by Joe Kubert introduces The Unknown Soldier, a World War II operative whose face was destroyed by a grenade, leaving him permanently disfigured and relying on masks and makeup for disguises. This debut establishes the character's origin and his role as a master of disguise working behind enemy lines.
The backup feature continues the Enemy Ace series with Hans von Hammer, written and illustrated by Joe Kubert. This story focuses on the German WWI flying ace and his ongoing internal conflicts about war and honor.
This issue marks a significant transition for Star Spangled War Stories as it introduces what would become one of DC's most enduring war characters during the early Bronze Age.
Condition VG+ 4.5 with moderate spine wear and light corner rounding, clean interior pages with good color retention, complete interior, structurally sound, and unrestored.
