All-Out War is an American war comics anthology series published by DC Comics 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.[1] Joe Kubert drew the cover art for the entire run and Murray Boltinoff was the editor of the series.[2] The series was in the Dollar Comics format[3] and the lead character was the Viking Commando created by writer Robert Kanigher and artist George Evans.[4][5] Other features included "Black Eagle" by Kanigher and artists Dick Ayers and Romeo Tanghal[6] and "Guerrilla War starring Force 3" by Kanigher and Jerry Grandenetti.[7][8] All-Out War was canceled with issue #6 (July–August 1980).[2] The Viking Commando later appeared in a two-part backup feature in Unknown Soldier #266 (Aug. 1982)[9] and #267 (Sept. 1982).[10]
