Our Army at War #204

Our Army at War #204 (On Sale: January 2, 1969) begin s the books of 1969 with a cover by Joe Kubert proclaiming a "Special Issue!"

Now by "Special Issue!" DC really meant "Reprint Book!" Robert Kanigher and Joe Kubert created a framing sequence around a number of reprints, beginning with "Battle of the Bugles" by Nat Barnett, Ross Andru and Mike Esposito from Our Army At War #16. Next was "Trench Battle" by Jack Miller and Joe Kubert from Star Spangled War Stories #48 and "Stand-In Soldier" written and drawn by Fred Ray from Our Army At War #19.

This was followed by "The Golden Gladiators" by Robert Kanigher, Ross Andru and Mike Esposito and reprinted from Our Army At War #52. The book ends with "Sword for a Statue" by Nat Barnett, Gene Colan and Joe Giella and reprinted from Our Army At War #17.

Edited by Joe Kubert.
