Unknown Soldier

    (DC, 1977-1982)
™ and ©1981 DC Comics, Inc.

Although his face was scarred beyond recognition, he continued to fight on against the Axis powers, albeit in a new, unique role. As the Unknown Soldier, this hero has become a master of disguise—and with a variety of masks of his own creation, he becomes the most powerful weapon in the allied arsenal. For him no mission is too risky, no challenge too great. And by working behind the scenes, he proves that one man in the right place can make all the difference.

The concept for the Unknown Soldier was first tried out in Our Fighting Forces #41. The Unknown Soldier made his official appearance in Star Spangled War Stories #151, and that title changed names with issue #205 to Unknown Soldier to reflect the popularity of its new hero.
