65. Unknown Soldier vol 1 #261 ... DC ...

This is sort of throwback kind of review in the sense that this is a review of one of the original war-series and this is my favorite series - not Sgt Fury and his Howling Commandos or Sgt Rock but this. Why? Because somehow inspite of the unbelievable disguises the general outline of the stories and how it resolves itself is far more enjoyable. Maybe because the premise is already stretching it from reality based to fantasy

So the basic outline is that of WW2. We have a soldier who is from a rich background but is horrible scarred. With that, he decided to perfect all his other skills and join the Allies for all sorts of covert operations

Why did I start with this issue? Well look at the cover. The soldier is infiltrating a castle with Nazis within to find (or find out) something. However, unbeknownst to him and the Nazis (but not the locals), the folklore about the castle is all too real as its master and mistress unleashes their own type of protection in the form of magical summonings. See? The red monster? That's not the only magic

All told in one issue too. What more can you ask for, eh?
