G.I. Combat #118

In "My Buddy — My Enemy!", a lone sergeant grapples with survivor’s guilt after an artillery blast kills his entire squad, wandering frozen battlefields with a quiet resolve. As he stumbles through the snow, he takes desperate action—destroying enemy machines, rescuing stranded soldiers, and ultimately shielding a group of green recruits, knowing his time is short. The story, written by Howard Liss and illustrated by Jack Abel with inks by Abel and lettering by Joe Letterese, captures a haunting moment of sacrifice, culminating in a powerful final image that speaks volumes. The cover, by Russ Heath, sets the tone with stark, dramatic visuals.
