Love that cover BassGMan. The looks on the faces - just great Kubert stuff.
I'll double post these G.I. Combats here as well. Bronzejohnny, how about putting that SSWS 151 of yours up in here?
Quote: While not the most important, the Adams G.I. Combat covers are sweet and smaller "keys" in 70s war books:
G.I. Combat 201
G.I. Combat 202
I like to collect the bronze G.I. Combats because so many were Dollar Comics.
The upper book Dollar Comic-kind of damage is seen in both of my copies and it took me a while to find them that nice. They are Manitoba copies from Doug Sulipa - he graded them both out at 9.0.

To go along with what I think is the first issue of the unmasked Unknown Soldier (let me know if I am wrong in this assumption - I don't have the complete run and Overstreet doesn't indicate any particular issue),
SSWS 183:
I have a digital pic of the first page of the issue.
Nice work from Gerry Talaoc. The story is pretty brutal too. The US has to cap a Jewish girl at point blank range to keep his identity secret. I thought the death was going to be a trick or something, but no - he killed her to make sure his mission which included saving innocents wasn't exposed.

very cool--so is this like the first unmasking of the Unknown Soldier? I read the title in the 80s and never saw him unmasked. I loved war books as well but my concentration during my readership days was primarily G.I. Combat, Sgt Rock, and Unknown Soldier.
The whole "Death appearance" in War is Hell looked like a "me too" as compared to Death in Weird War Tales. I haven't read that title, and although it was short lived, I was wondering if anyone could relate the stories--was it on-going, anthology, etc?
