DC Comics · Weird War Tales #92 · October 1980 · 50¢ · 100 pages
Grade: VF 8.0
Cover by Joe Kubert — signed.
The story teaser “Doomsday is Four Horsemen Come Riding...” sets the tone for what Weird War Tales was doing at its best in 1980 — war comics pushed into horror and apocalyptic territory, the battlefield as a place where reality goes wrong. Specific interior story titles and creator credits for this issue are not confirmed in our research; what is confirmed is that the Comics Code Authority stamp is present and the original cover price was 50 cents.
Weird War Tales ran from 1971 to 1983, a full 124 issues — one of DC's most durable Bronze Age anthology titles. By issue #92, the book had settled into a reliable groove of short war-horror hybrids, the kind of material that still holds up as a snapshot of what DC was doing with genre comics when Marvel had largely abandoned the format. Kubert on the cover is never incidental; his war art defined the visual language of the DC war line across decades.
