G.I. Combat #116

In "Battle Cry for a Dead Man!", the Haunted Tank faces a haunting echo of history as General J.E.B. Stuart warns of a grim repetition. With the weight of the past pressing down, the crew joins a Greek Tank Commander in defending a narrow pass—mirroring the legendary stand at Thermopylae—under the relentless advance of German forces. Written by Robert Kanigher and illustrated with gritty precision by Irv Novick, with letters by Joe Letterese, the cover by Joe Kubert captures the tension in a single, stark image.
