Star Spangled War Stories #172 - Joe Kubert cover, Walt Simonson art

Joe Kubert

Star Spangled War Stories v1 #172 featuring the Unknown Soldier, 1973 - In Walt Simonson's brief tale, the final days of the Alamo are recounted, including a key decision that could have changed history. At first glance, the story art adequate portrays the pre-statehood era of Texas. Under closer inspection, however, certain panels falter and suggest a lack of effort (page 2 panel 5 for example). Overall, Simonson's layouts are fairly standard and he retains his unusually distinctive linework. Joe Kubert's cover is better, revealing a trio of Nazi planes within the torn opening of the title character's parachute. Other artists in this bronze age comic include Jack Sparling. This is 70 of 96 Star Spangled War issues by Kubert and 2 of 3 Star Spangled War issues by Simonson. /// Simonson gallery
