Cover by Joe Kubert.  » The Soldier of Steel!  »  » The Soldier of Steel!  » part 2  » Command-Kill King Cong  » part 3 written by Robert Kanigher, penciled by Ross Andru and inked by Mike Esposito. While U.S. involvement in the Vietnam war continued, writer Robert Kanigher and artist Ross Andru crafted a story that took Superman straight to the battlefield. Whereas DC’s war comics too place primarily in World War II, this issue marked the first time that any DC publication had sent one of its heroes to Vietnam. The overall story provided little social commentary regarding the war itself.
