All-Out War is a war comics anthology series published by DC Comics for six issues from 1979 to 1980. It primarily featured characters created by writer Robert Kanigher.

Publication history

The first issue was published with an September–October 1979 cover date. Joe Kubert drew the cover art for the entire run and Murray Boltinoff was the editor of the series.[1] The series was in the Dollar Comics format[2] and the lead character was the Viking Commando created by writer Robert Kanigher and artist George Evans.[3][4] Other features included "Black Eagle" by Kanigher and artists Dick Ayers and Romeo Tanghal[5] and "Guerrilla War starring Force 3" by Kanigher and Jerry Grandenetti.[6][7] All-Out War was canceled with issue #6 (July–August 1980).[1] The Viking Commando later appeared in a two–part backup feature in Unknown Soldier #266 (Aug. 1982)[8] and #267 (Sept. 1982).[9]
