G.I. Combat #105

In "Time-Bomb Tank!", a new pilot takes the wheel of the legendary Mustang #777—known less for its pilot than for surviving every mission. Written by Hank Chapman and illustrated by Jack Abel with inks by Abel and letters by Gaspar Saladino, the story follows a fighter ace who pushes his battered plane to the limit, surviving crashes, enemy fire, and even a dramatic ejection—only to find the plane still in the fight, sinking a battleship. The cover by Joe Kubert captures the intensity of the moment, as the pilot prepares for another run in the unkillable machine.
