G.I. Combat #117

A desert war takes a supernatural turn in this 1966 entry in DC's long-running G.I. Combat series, featuring the Haunted Tank encased in an eerie column of ice while a ghostly apparition looms above it. Joe Kubert's cover captures two soldiers locked in fierce hand-to-hand combat in the foreground — an Allied GI grappling with a Nazi trooper — as sparks and gunfire erupt around them. Robert Kanigher and Russ Heath deliver "Tank in the Icebox!," promising exactly the kind of pulpy, imaginative WWII storytelling that made this series a staple of Silver Age war comics.
